    Nothing more powerful than a hairdryer mind...dont use a hot air gun Once you have a corner peeled up...play the heat near to the corner while gently pulling up the sticker.

    Take a chill pill and check if its sparking, take it from there
  5. I would go for the RE as it does look better. However I bought a 2003 DTR last year and it was most definitely money well spent, superb little bikes. Good choice and guaranteed to increase in value IMO Simon
  6. Another £55 on parts Might as well forget it right now

    She's coming along nicely now, put the standard exhaust on last weekend for the first time since I removed the pipe in the header. My SM tailpipe?...well that needed re packing so instead of my usual re-pack using baffle wool (fiberglass) and packing it real tight like I have done for the last few generations I decided to try some filter sheet from work, looks a bit like the baffle sheet that is sold for purpose. Well I was shocked it felt a hell of a lot more torquey on the ride home but noisy, yep too noisy really so today I fitted a bog standard steel one, what a lovely sound, it's been so long I forgot what they sounded like...much more neighbour friendly and performing way better than the Gianelli / SM combo that was on last week, more than likely due to the silencer packing method I had used.
  12. Yes it's at the bottom of the battery compartment, near the drive chain

    Take the way you got no reading...was the red lead on the male connector?

    I dont think you are supposed to split the caliper in that way, I think it should have been left sealed and you have damaged the seal.

    Switch it to 2k Ohms and plug the leads black in com and red in the ohms socket. Now test the two connectors on the rectifier, you will see a reading one way only...verify this
  18. Airhead replied to Canny lad's post in a topic in Classics
    I reckon the red goes to the male connector of the rectifier. Have you got a multimeter?
  19. Airhead replied to Canny lad's post in a topic in Classics
    Are your wires red and white? isnt there male and female connectors on it that would prohibit getting it wrong? your wires, they have male and female connectors ...yes?

    Hi Jay, yeah 'watch topic button will give you email notifications.
