Always check what they've actually charged you for. I changed my bike with CN a little while ago and they charged me from memory £36.20. When the actual paperwork came through the Insurance part of that was £1.20 and they charged an administration fee of £35 on top - something which they didn't ment...

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I think I need to get out and try a few before I make my mind up. The added complication for me is that I'm lucky enough to have two bikes, the other being an 1100gs. The gs riding position is more comfortable, tank range a lot bigger but the gearbox/clutch is truly awf...

In a quandry

OK, I've had ny S for 6 years now and it's been a good bike and other than replacing the front discs, it's not let me down over 25,000 miles. However, I'm getting itchy feet and feel it's time for a change and have a hankering for either a 700 Honda Deauville or one of the new Honda NC700x - anyone ...

Thanks for suggestions.

I gave up in the end and turned it over to the professionals. Turned out it was a corroded power supply connection to the starter motor. Would never have found that!

No power from switches

I wonder whether anyone can help me with an electrical problem - it's actually for my GS but I guess they're essentially the same. While riding to work this morning I lost my lights/horn and indicators although bike kept running fine. Now I can't start it as there's no power to the starter either. W...

I would like to carry out this mod but am reticent about delving into the black art of electrics and blowing up me and the bike. Is it an easy fitment, wiring diagram, how did you mount the relay? Any pointers would be appreciated.

thanks

Rob
