Looks good for decent rides and Pans are bloody silly money aren't they?

I was pleasantly surprised on the way home with it, its just a stopgap but it'll do for now, and yeah re Pan's, I'm not paying 4k for a 20 year old one.

Re: Two wheels good.
Aye I occasionally see Pans for sale & think I'd have made money if I kept mine longer. Except of course I wouldn't as I'd have used it & it'd look it age.

I don't think I've ever had a bike where the fuel gauge was anywhere near accurate.Yellowperil wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 9:10 am
The mechanism for the fuel switch is missing and the fuel gauge has stopped working, I haven't got a clue what mileage to fill up at.
Putting it on reserve will involve stripping bodywork to get to the tap, probably on a duel carriageway as that is what 99% of my commute consists.
Overall, I am loving it.
You're not a real bier until you've put a bike on reserve whilst it's moving only to pull your hand back only to find that you no longer have a glove on, it's flapping while jammed in the fuel tap mechanism.

Re: Two wheels good.
I'm not a real biker then. But I have gone to put the bike on reserve to find the fuel tap vanished inside the bike as soon as I touched it. Which was handy in the outside lane of a busy M25.

Let's all take a moment to take in the fact that our colonial cousins call a fuel tap a petcock.

Yet they call petrol, gas. They really are idiots who can't use our language properly

Re: Two wheels good.
Having a look at the now non working indicators on the red c90.
I've found what I think is the flasher relay. I'm only getting power to one wire when I put the ignition on. Activating the indicator switch on the handle bars does nothing.
Any ideas?

Re: Two wheels good.
I'm not getting anything going to or from the switch at the handle bars.
I'm I right in thinking the flasher unit is fucked?
