Sticker for the end of the speedo:

Resource Limit Is Reached





Sticker for the end of the fuel gauge:

507 Insufficient Storage

Electrical Sit-Rep.

The electric starter isn't much use when it's cold. But the battery appears fully charged.

Kick start and she starts first kicks and purrs like a kitten.
No lights for around 10 seconds, then they come on. The high and low beam switch works, but the high beam light on the dash is always on.
The horn works *titter*
No indicators front or rear.
Rear light and brake light work.
The speedo, the fuel gauge and the mileage are all as dead as a dodo, as per the indicators.

I found 2 fuses.

And removed them.





I'll replace with new anyway.

2 things happened.

The starter button was completely dead.
And oddly enough the highbeam light at the dash started working correctly - HB light off when normal lights, turn on the HB and the blue HB light then came on, where previously the HB dash light was always lit blue.




Currently trying to fine the indicator fuses.

I presume the indicators have fuses?

To replace with new and see if the work.






Under the seat on the right side.

Does this look like a place where fuses would be hiding?

All/any comments appreciated. Cheers chaps/chappettes.

Hopefully can fix the indicators by the fuses.

I presume Thais disable the speedo and mileage etc for reselling purposes. Any easy way to enable them again?

Will be combing me eyebrows and wearing me Lynx Africa. *pretends to adjust a necktie*

Pull apart a few electrical connectors and have a good look at the metal terminals inside. Won't take long. On a bike like that, some are bound to be a bit corroded.

Pull apart and reconnect every connector. That is enough to "clean" them.

^ snap, it cant harm as that thing looks like dirt has worked its way well into it. Buy some electrical contact clean and spray it around

Eddos bullshit can go from 0 to Nippon seiki in a heartbeat

^ Thank you for your insight.

thai lebians are something to behold. saw a film once*

stuck together at the crotch like velcro they were.


* more than once actually.

Struggling to breathe here.


Got back and shoved on the fairings.

Is it fairings or farings, LD?

Missings screws here, missing bolts there. Zero care or concentration.

Gave her a test run, no problem, it gets noticeably better as it warms up. After a minute it was flying up to full speed at WOT, then snap and back down to idle with the throttle just spinning around in me hand. One KM push home which felt like 1 meter whilst dreaming about devouring Lil Lezzie Sex Kitten.

Opened the front and the throttle cable had popped off the throttle.

the connection on the engine side that I disconnected and then connected again after the carb clean is all good.


Actually, everything mechanical is all good, or apparently so anyway.

Tiz all going brilliantly. Cheers chaps/chappettes. :-)

Holy fuck. Now you reckon you can turn lesbians into loving the cock

Will fix up the throttle, hopefully.

And drive her to a shop for:

oil and oil filter
Brake fluid and brake service. One brake lever is completely floppy and dead.
Fork oil and seals.
New front tyre.
All the front and dash electrics checked etc. There are no working indicators, fuel gauge, speedo.
reattach the center stand.


After that, now that I have the exact model number, I will.

Order in a nice new shiny radiator and that spinny round thing under the big long cover thing that left numerous people dismayed at how it could get into such a condition.


After that it is decoration time, then probably order in a full new set of blank fairings after a me paint job looks like a Chitty Cottage Pie.


Cheers chaps/chapettes.

I do love a feel-good story.

*fistbump*

Good man.

Yours,

Luv'dup Ed.

I'm off to a lesbian bar to try my luck

I think I accidentally clicked a link to that video a few times too. Fascinating, it was.

OK, yoda.

Only 18 actually. Not 19 for another 11 days. You'll have to wait until the twelfth to give her your birthday Luluing.

17, going on 18 if going by the rego date.

Though listed as the 2006 model.
