Good morning good people :hat:
What happened to .org? ???
I have a 1400 on an 06 plate. And a dr800. And what`s left of my old 1200 bandit. Oh, and my old landy. I have an electrical problem with the 14 at the moment. I will try to dig a bit deeper this weekend and will probably be asking for advice before too long :computer_type:
Look forward to meeting a few of you out on the road at some time in the future maybe :cheers:
PS Nothing stays standard for very long does it? :devil:
Welcome aboard
Good to have you aboard Marmite.
Welome from down under :cheers:
Hello n welcome
Welcome :hat:
Glad you found us MA - the old org - well it died and Synk (as usual) couldn't be bothered to put it back up so Vladtepes started a new "org" - and here we are. Old org now dead and gone, most members though are on here, so home from home almost!!!
Welcome :onya:

That wasn`t me at Fowlers sir.
Thank you all for the great welcome. I recognise some of your names from when I used to frequent the old .org forum. I hope you are all well.
The electrical problem? Oh yes. That. When I last laid the bike up, I neglected to disconnect the battery. Went to ride again and battery dead. no life at all. Wont take a charge either. Buy a new battery. charge it. Fit it. Oh. As soon as connection is made, even if the ignition key is in my pocket, things start to happen! The fuel pump bursts into life (not flames yet), the lcd readout says "check" instead of giving a fault code, and I had a chap called Paul, from Guildford modify the tacho to be a gear position indicator. the leds in that seem to flash in random sequences. most strange. I haven`t actually tried to start the bike as I don`t want to bolt the battery in place in case I see smoke and need to disconnect it double quick. Mole grips on terminals might work. I shall go and play shortly and we shall see how big a bang dodgy electrics can make. This could prove expensive.
So it seems to think the ignition is on. Strange.
Before trying to start it, think I'd have the headlight off, disconnect the ignition switch and spray the connections with contact cleaner. I'd also check the kill switch and finally spray some contact cleaner down the ignition barrel.

My thoughts exactly sir. Thanks for your input. I will have the tank off too, to check for smoke (at least have the rear supported to keep fuel pump connected). Rodent damage maybe?

That's possible - it happened to Seth - so check your rubbers on your injectors as well, as I think on his 14, they had a nibble or two there as well
£700+ in new hoses to emma's 14 .
little nibbling b*****ds :wife: :soapbox:
:welcome: marmite addict, ya sick bugger ! Get some vegemite into you !
Love the landy - series 3 by the look?
I have a Tdi 130 which gets a run now and then.... and a black GSX1400 which gets a run almost every day.
