    Bloody hell..almost thought I would be on a BIKE....
    dam XT kept stoping..
    deside to go down & fill it...
    get on it..start it up.. put it into gear..motor stops..
    This happened like 4 / 5 times... fuck all I need..

    Its got this dumb ass system... If yer put into gear with the
    side stand down .. It stops...
    lucky I figgered it out.. before I tore it to bits...

    I can see a use for the system for HD riders... not a dirt bike..

    And if your stand gets a bit too much dirt in it, when you go into a nice dip, the stand will drop slightly and with the friction from the dirt, will stay down...

    Also the culprit if your bike keeps back firing over rocky ground...

    I got all excited when I saw what you were planning, as I'd quite fancy joining you from Blenvegas.........
    Alas, I forgot I'm helping out a mate at his work....
    Guess I'll have to wait another time to btreak my Molesworth virginity

    Have fun!

    Went in tonite to drop off dvds & fill up with gas.
    Was thinking whether or not I would prepare another clutch cable to take as a spare for the one i've modified for the tomaselli lever.
    Just as I was thinking about it snap- no clutch & floppy lever.
    Bugger - got home & up our driveway without clutch- phew!
    Now I've gotta use my old one to make a new one.
