Took the thou to poole bike night, good turn out but the fishes and chippies not at their best .....good tuesday evening ride though
Pack it in Hedgetrimmer.... they'll all come up here if you keep showing how great it is!
FazersharpFlea bay, look for: Permatex 22058 I find the permatex products good but expensive.

But yet will allow voltage to pass if used as a protective against corrosion. I think I used to whack Vaseline around my battery connectors on my old cars.

It doesn't conduct, it insulates, but high Voltages will not break it down, which is why it is suitable for spark plug leads. If you put it on connectors pushing the connectors together displaces it and the connectors make contact but the grease stays around them protecting them from corrosion. Vaseline on the battery poles was to prevent corrosion due to battery acid vapours
You make me so jealous !!!!!!! I lived in Durham for the first 25 years of my life, the for another 12 years later in life, and now I can't wait to get back there.You're talking about all the roads and places I grew up with and when I wax lyrical about the north, to folk down south, they all tell me it's the rose tinted glasses of youth - glad to see its not - and its still as foccing brilliant up as there as my memory says it was. I knew there was something to look forward to in life.
My top box lock broke yesterday ( Stelvio, ofenpass, foscagno, Garcia, tonale, Mendola), so went to heingericke in Bolzano and bought a new one and fitted it. Also repair my USB charging port.
Good fix Unfazed. IIRC someone else had concluded the only way to get at a troublesome sidestand switch was to take the engine out!I avoid using silicone greases on switches. It's OK on connectors which are forced together and displace the grease, but switches operate at much lower contact pressures.If there is any arcing it can cause the grease to overheat: with carbon based compounds you get soot and CO2 which won't stop conduction, with silicone the products of overheating can include silica which will stop the contacts touching.
