Hopefully it's now sorted out and I can get on with riding it and fettling the B-Zuki. Although I did note the (km) speedo wasn't working yesterday. The PO has kindly provided me with a mph version but getting at it looks like a bit of a hassle.

But isn't that the point? We do tend to like a bit of a hassle, the mind games trying to work out a solution and then fettling in the garage to make that solution work. Otherwise we'd all be riding Hondas!

Yes indeed. On another forum someone was extolling the virtues of PCP for new bikes. I did a quick check. Something like a RE Interceptor wanted about £1500 down payment, £90 or so a month for 3 years and then you either hand the bike back or pay another £4000+ to keep it. So that's costing near enough £5,000 just for having the thing!

Plus of course not having the delights(?) of tracking down these elusive faults and working out how to fix them. Sometimes preferable to riding......
