The ignition box will start doing weird things when the voltage gets a bit low , like 10 -10.5v too

Hi , dunno if Gowanloch has any. They may come up on eBay , one there at the mo but they are asking €999 . I keep an eye out for parts that might get broken in a.

All good , pleased you got it sorted.
Sometimes when you look back after finding such a fault, you realise this thing has been giving you grief for a while .........

In the wet I learnt that the 1st (sphincter tightening ) couple of rotations after grabbing a handful of brakes wipe the water off the discs then its business as usual. Then I got me a 1997 900ss de...

I would check the tank breather. Probly easiest to ride bike untill it stops and then quickly remove fuel cap . It should just open without any vacuum in the tank or sucking noises.

Another thing to consider is that these engines dont carburett well at low...
