If you are going to do it then do it properly connect it into the fuse box to a switched live (unless you want to use it when the ignition is off) saves any possible problems in the future. Did this on my '98 with a 3 port extention so I can power the intercom radio my ipod and still have room to charge the mobile

BT 023's for me as well came with Bridgestones when new and have stuck with them, decent wear feel planted and I have not run out of grip even with all the boxes on and the rear seat full going to the TT giving it a good fist full heading for the campsite no problems at all even if the price is a bit higher I would stick with Bridgestone IMHO 

Had one dog in a street near where I used to live that would always chase bikes when ever they went past had spoke to the owner about keeping the gate closed not interested in the least one time I was leaving via that street the dog came again managed to get a good connection with my foot big yelp and off it went (I was doing about 20-25 at the time) the girl caught up with me a day or so later and started to shout about what I did I reminded her of our "conversation" and suggested that if she kept the god secure this would not have happened (not in those words mind) the gate was still not being closed but strangely the dog never did chase me again 

Hope this one can drive

 
Congrats to you both

Try a bit of wd40 on the carbs where the cables attach if that does not work then maybe a little oil down the cable not as easy as it sound best I have found with out a cable oiler of a Plasticine mould is just to open the throttle wide then drip a little oil on it and close it slowly and opposite on the other cable but would try the carb side first

IMHO it is good to give the bike a good rev every now and then, personally I make sure the bike is nice and warmed up and I never thrash it in 1st.  Get into 2nd twist and hold the throttle open, a little pressure under the gear shift when it hits the limiter it slips up a gear  repeat as required.
1998 FZS MK1 still going strong.

Been a smoker for many years tried patches, tablets, will power etc none of which worked I have gone onto ecigs 8 weeks now and have not even been tempted to buy fags even turned one down when offered not for every one as most things in life but are working for me. I started on the ones from tesco http://www.nicolites.co.uk/products-page/ the rechargeable ones then moved onto http://www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk/products/featured-products/microlite-cartomiser-starter-kit-2-product.html
these can be charged in their own case (does about 4 recharges before the pack needs charging) the refills (cartomisers) are one use (can be refilled but a bit messy) but for Xmas got http://www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk/products/510-titan-tank-ecig/510-titan-tank-e-nic-brushed-steel-product.html this is a "tank" system which means you buy the e-fluid and refill them your self with little or no mess if you wanted to get some from TECC there is a discount code valid until December 31st and it is TECCXMAS gives a 25% discount.
This has / is working for me at the moment from a 30 a day habit to e-fags with no problems you can choose your  nicotine levels from 0 upwards and your flavour menthol or tobacco using the cartridges but hundreds if using the liquids.
Hope that is of some help 

Use butter (best unsalted) as marge has different properties when heated

Had mine done a while back free as the company takes the FIT (Home Sun) they say I can use any leccy generated in the day free ! so I looked at it as:-

• They fit and maintain it for 25 years FOC
• The unit installed will be a good quality, as they want to make as much money as they can
• It cost me nothing (well £100 for a new leccy trip switch thing in addition to my consumer board) so anything I save by the free leccy is all good
