Exhaust, Haynes, Rectifier etc
Thanks for
the quick response guys.
It is a nonstandard exhaust, but it’s only a couple of years old and still
looks to me to be in very good condition. The bike came with a fair amount of
history and the exhaust replacement is a part of it. Off the top of my head I
think it was purchased from wemoto. How do I check to see if the exhaust is the
source of the problems? Wouldn't this have come up in the MOT test? I am also
certain I need to adjust the throttle cable as well as it idles very very
slowly.
The woman who
pulled out on me blamed me at the scene and, in front of the police, accused me
of speeding. I was only traveling at about 15-20 mph at the time on an A road.
To me, she has therefore admitted that she saw me coming but pulled across my
path anyway, so hopefully will be convicted for careless driving at the least.
Currently receiving acupuncture to the shoulder and leg via her insurance
company, after mine squashed her counter claim against me immediately. Here's
the controversial part - I'm insured with MCE and they have been nothing short
of excellent so far.
Sorry Old(ish)git, should have updated that as well. I have a Haynes manual
now, air filter is fine, plugs look fine, but have bought another load to swap
this weekend along with an oil and oil filter change. How do I determine if the
fuel is contaminated? I am also unsure of what to do with the carbs and
breather tubes?
DazLoczy -
The rectifier definitely needs replacing, when the battery died around
November, the AA man who sorted it tested it and said it will need replacing
after winter. I thought it only charged the battery? Also, after the crash, the
kill switch is very temperamental. If I turn the engine off using it I have to continuously
flick the switch till I can turn the engine over. Again, how can I diagnose if
it is what is affecting the engine?
Going to get
my hands dirty this weekend so all/any advice is gratefully received!
