  5. Been troubleshooting all day yesterday and found out why the main beams on my 1299S headlight weren’t working. Tidied up the wiring and just about finished but still waiting for last weekend’s Scotland trip’s wetness to finally dry out. :)

  6. interesting

    i have to take the tacho unit off, can i remove without taking lights off?, just front fairing?
     
  7. Yes, no need for the light to come off. If you haven’t done it before, set yourself a couple of hours aside. :upyeah:
     
  8. Received my Scrambler back from the dealers :)

  11. Yep……..think they steam cleaned it. It certainly looks clean in all the nooks and crannies. I couldn’t give it a proper going over as my neighbour Steve came over for a chat.

    I’ll double check it tomorrow :)

  12. Has he got a nick name like Pot Black Steve or other.;)
     
  13. Double checked the scrambler and 99% of it was clean. Few caked on oil spots on the exhaust but a wire brush soon cleaned them up.

    I've just acf50'd the fuck out of it and ran it for 10 mins to burn off the excess.

    Now for some sun bathing.

    I might go out on the bike later if and when it cools down

  15. I see you’re gradually introducing him to the finer sex, or I’m just puerile :joy:
     
  16. It’s the later, I’m certain he needs no introduction…..especially now he’s a hardcore biker riding the mean streets of ‘orbiring’ on his 50cc SX50. Just fettling his Aprillia RS4 50 for the full aleix espargaro look.:joy:

  19. any luck with the frame yet Sev?
     
  20. Well both the 916 and 996 have a piece missing at the lower region, hence why i purchased two, so it's there for a backup if required when i liquidate both bikes in the future, but i'll bear you in mind if not used.:)
