First post and unfortunately its one seeking a little help. I did a quick search but couldnt find anything so I apologise if this has already been posted.
So I purchased the bike in 2015 from another forum member and since then it has been a beautifully reliable machine. Sadly after a recent trip to Ireland I noticed a liquid burning off the header pipes at standstills accompanied by an unwelcome smell. The leak seems to be coming from the left hand side of the bike but a quick removal of the front sprocket cover only revealed lots of grimey oil and not much in the way of understanding where the leak is coming from.
It might be worth stating that before the trip the bike had an oil and filter change and at no point did the oil warning light come on and the inspection window is as it should be.
All Germans seem to rigidly adhere to 30 50 70 and 90kph limits. Is the whole country wired for radar.I know the UK gives euro countries speeding drivers details, just wondering how much mail is going to drop on the mat.

What's everyone's preference for front fork spring kits .I have seen the hyperpro, ohlins, having and so forth. If I temereme rightly one was preferred to the others. I do ride in a spirited manner and will sometimes have a pillion too .
Hi all
So I’ve got some LED flashers on the bike now and swapped the old flasher relay or an LED one...can anyone enlighten me as to why they dont flash? They just light up once and stay on....do I need inline resistors too?

My centre stand was really slow to retract last night, and when I had a look at it, the larger spring has snapped :'( . Has anyone had any luck finding a generic spring that fits, or is my only option OEM at £20.00?
The coils seem to be much wider than the ones you see on ebay or WEmoto, probably because of having to accommodate the thinner spring going through the middle? The same spring fits the Fazer 1000 and VMax apparently but I can't find any second hand ones online.
My caliper is dead, but looking at it with a ruler the measurements seem to be roughly 120mm hook to hook (assuming it's the same as the thin spring). The coil part is roughly 25mm OD, and nearly 60mm long.
If anyone has one knocking around that they're happy to sell please let me know!
