matt here you go,

Bandit wins - they are cheaper
and still at WEMOTO where you thought they were

the yellow and blue should be your pick up coil wires so definatly repair the blue one if you exposed any bare wire

cheers for that - will save me a few days delivery time if i decide to relocate my ignition

damn i forgot to use the monty python splitter scene

what a pain in the arse that was
if i did it the old fashioned way i would have been fine but decided to use my old 'one man bleed system'
after a lot of messing around and nothing going to plan i found out it was broken doing it the old fashioned way it went great
 - will invest in one of those vacuum systems at some point

its not the ignition switch as the dash lights are still on and the oil/fuel light come on it is a warning to a switch issue


clutch switch only effects starting when in gear and wont cut an engine out
sidestand switch will cut out an engine when put down
kill switch will cut out an engine when 'killed'


im putting a fiver on the sidestand switch as it goes to normal after a few mins and no one ever thinks of sidestand switches while F-ing and blinding at a bike that wont start (yep me included) yet it gets the most stress as it gets all kinds of road crap flying at it and sticking to grease

there could be a couple of problems here not just one because its winter so you shouldnt be having overheating problems when riding
best to take a day to check a few things at once to ensure your cooling system is tip top
1, pump flow by opening the drain screw and starting engine (keep your legs clear it sprays) then top up
2, radiator clogging - just remove top hose then bottom hose and if you only get a slow drizzle then there is your problem (flush it)
3, fan switch, need an ohmeter for this one and an old pan (check the manual how to do this)

personally i think this sounds like a coolant flow issue because its winter so the fan should rarely come on - unless city commuting


if your lucky it is just an air lock and you wont find a problem it will just mysteriously be fixed once you do a coolant swap
if its a bit of a bugger then its a blockage it could be a coolant issue or it could be water type ie hard water (or both) just flush it
if your really really unlucky the impeller fans might be bust, but this is worst case rare scenario and easy to check once everything else is done

ok so a quick look around turns out the blanked one would be a startup/enrichening jet
originally found this out looking at pics of a mikuni bsr36 (we have bsr33 so close enough)
that says choke to me so i got more intrested because its blanked off
found this http://www.xj4ever.com/inside%20your%20carbs.pdf
and i can say i have no bloody idea further than its blanked off now so it can stay blanked off

i was going to use a very similar saying in a upcoming video
would you trust not making a life with a 5 year old 'Rubber'
do you want to trust your own life with 5 year old Rubber ?


just replace them and get the best out of your ride while you can - use the old ones up and down the road while getting things setup but get it booked in for a tyre swap - i buy my own online and take them down the garage myself as it saves me a few quid as obviously garages charge to remove the wheels.

many bloody knuckles were suffered before i realised a slide action would work (most of the time)

Have a search on here as there are a few posts about it and if you put it on without any swearing then you have not put it on properly

Thanks mate, i found a thread and i got it back on the right way, and yeah there was a few buggers and c***s in there haha

now you have learned the hard way to put it on do you want to see the easy way lol

looks like you will have a proper minter when your done
good on ya for saving it
not to mention the financial benefits of saving it , better looking than a pension fund aswell

i will say also check the Race organisers (pdmcc for example) rules aswell as for some unknown reason some tracks/clubs have rules that are not in the ACU handbook (it sounds nuts i know but thats racing)
if you think the ACU handbook is too big to read what ever you do dont get into rallying the MSA is larger and much harder to read
