Right OK then it is high. Much higher than it should be it seems. Does the bike run? If so you can check the voltage (carefully) on these wires. It will be AC at that point. The only other thing to do is whip the cover off and check the windings to see if they're burnt up

Do you have a manual? It will tell you what the resistances should be. I wouldn't call 6.4ohms a high reading though?

Excellent, I've been looking at some routes for us on the Saturday

Get yourself an expensive car to run like mine, then the bike seems even better ?

Value for money wise HJC are good, they also score well on the Sharp tests. I think mine is the IS17. Only 30 odd quid for replacement visors too, half the price of AGV ones last I checked.

My experience of the FJ is not great for pillion. My Mrs is 5'8 and felt really cramped on mine. I'd say you need something with a flattish seat so your pillion isn't sticking up high in the wind (as blackie said)

The streets only a 675/765 so no contest mate. I guess the speed triple would be closer but the tuono is another step above that. You're into mt10 or superduke r territory

Whenever I've paid import duty on stuff from 'merica I've always paid it to the courier, no one else.

I'd suggest any of the usual adventure style bikes. Tiger 800, GS1200, Africa Twin etc. They tend to have more leg room for the pillion. But then again, I never ride for much longer than that when 2 up with my Mrs so I don't think it would bother me too much

Did it have any oil in it?

Me too, doing my head in!

Definitely look into balance shafts. I thought my dr650 was smooth for a single until I adjusted the balance shaft chain tension. Ran like a Swiss watch afterwards.

I'm going out for a little ride tomorrow after work, Matlock for fish and chips I think! Brought the DT out of winter hibernation the other day - started on the 3rd kick and ran a treat. Roll on summer!

Yes

Was that the 26th? I was there watching a couple of mates go round

How was the weather for you? Had that run saved on FB ended up having other plans

I've got a moth eaten sleeping bag you can use as well

6 camping and 1 (big softie) in the b+b.

Ferry from Hirtshals in Denmark John, I've looked into it

Right we're on, all booked. See you all on the 8th. There was actually no need to pay up front so if any of you want the cash back then let me know. If not I'll pay on Tuesday.

Lovely stuff! Better tyre choice as well

Probably a lot better than the one you've got Joking aside, they're a reputable brand, so I'd say it will be fine

Glad you got it sorted
