Hmm, as mentioned, the door to the garden doesn't close and the one to the alleyway is in a state that makes it look more like a swiss cheese, so, provided there's some breeze, there is definitely a through draught, but I think it may be the heat from the bike which causes the condensation.
Quote:Your starting problems are more or less certainly due to electrical reasons and, while WD40 is useful, I have found the best preventitive treatment is a thorough clean(with tank up/seat removed) and then to spray all electrical components including inside all snap connectors with ACF 50. Good idea to remove plug leads and if necessary cut back ends of HT leads to ensure good electrical continuity inside plug connectors. Check battery terminals for tightness/grease terminals.
I get the bike ACF 50 treated by Nooj at ShinybikeSyndrome every year, although that's usually in the winter, so it was last done around the start of this year, but I'll certainly look at what you suggest.
