    Mudguard

    My finance must think I'm strange for repeatedly taking her hairdryer into the garage! Any sealant removal wipes will also help rid the fairings of any sticky residue.

    Gen 4 Recall on Cylinder Heads

    Shhh don't curse yourself! Yes. Two weeks ago it was full and used briefly and placed back in the garage not on trickle ha! Fingers crossed I'll get it in today for the valves (and mention the shims may need checking). Thanks for all the useful posts in this thread so far.

    Gen 4 Recall on Cylinder Heads

    Morning all, Im due to take mine in to Bahnstormers today. It's been two weeks since the bike was used and you can guess what Im going to say next... After a brief 1h30 min Optimate it still didn't have enough juice to turn over ha! Bitten again by the lithium bike battery bug.

    gb protection covers

    Top work. Against similar to yourself I was worried about the Water Cover GB Case and had no trouble with keeping pressure on whilst fitting (not that I think it needs pressure to retain it if the bikes cold).

    New M sport owner

    I think you've summed it up very well from a Gen 3. It's almost a toy (aka 600 :witless: ) with the weight reduction !
