Just a quick update as I'm home for the weekend and got a bit of a chance to look.
As the multimeter turned up, I checked the coil resistance and plug cap resistance, and all seemed within the expected range (except 1 plug cap, sat at 8.5kohm instead of the 10 it should - anything to worry about?).
I started going through the electrics, but the weather is a bit shit, and I've got nowhere sheltered I can have a go at the bike :/ I also trimmed the leads back a few mm.
Being a proper idiot, I left my spark plug tool at uni, so couldn't even attempt to get those out and check, but it's another job I'll have to look at next time I'm back.
After all this, the bike starts and runs fine on the drive, but still seems to be suffering when you start riding (just went up and down the road to test, performance seemed to be heading in the same direction as before).
Anyway, I'll chuck another update on when I've had a better chance to go at the bike, incase anyone is interested!
Thanks,
