    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Also the drain holes at the bottom of the plug channels block up and trap water. If you look carefully there is a small exit aperture just under where each header bolts on. Try clearing these by probing with some wire from the outside.

    DO THAT AND CLEN THEM I HAVE A MATES RF 900 HERE AND LAST WINTER IT HATED THE RAIN WE FOUND THE DRAINS AND CLEAND THEM AND NO PROB ANY MORE

    At least it kind of fined up for the ride home.

    Wasn't the bloody traffic horrific ysterday AM north of the SH2/Korokoro lights? Normally takes us about 5-7 mins from home to the lights, took us 40 mins yesterday! Hamish reckons they've stuffed round with the light cycle (there was no accident/breakdown/flooding to cause the delay, and it cleared after the lights)

    Anyway, hope you get it sorted Riffer.

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.
