« on: April 15, 2017, 12:42:03 pm »A rider should be able to walk all round their bike supporting it with one hand without a stand down. This has to be part and parcel of owning a bike surely.
Why?
I own a bike and don't/can't/won't do it! So it obviously isn't part and parcel etc.
Since getting my licence in 1964 I have not once had the need or the urge to walk all around any bike supporting it with one hand without a stand down. If I decide I need to do circus acts, I'll join a circus.
Next time I get the urge or have the need, I'll call you
Brian (who can walk all around his car supporting himself with one hand without a stand down)
WOW, watch the old blood pressure, Mr Phmode ............Think you'll find its a I.A.M. thing

K Club Humour / Why men should not vacuum
« on: March 20, 2017, 12:20:15 pm »
Hope this link works ...............................
Why men should not vacuum
A retired guy sits around the house all day, so one day his wife says, “Paul, you could do something useful, like vacuum the house once a week."
Paul gives it a moment’s thought and says: “Sure! Why not? Where’s the vacuum?"
Half an hour later, Paul comes into the kitchen to get some coffee. His wife says, “I didn't hear the vacuum running; I thought you were going to do the vacuuming?”
Exasperated, Paul answers,”The stupid thing is broken; it won't start. We need to buy a new one.”
"Really?” she says, “Show me -- it worked fine the last time.”
So he shows her.

K1200 / K1300 Forum / Re: Another Hot Start issue
« on: March 19, 2017, 11:38:20 pm »Could it be the canbus system monitoring the current draw cutting the start system out,
Thinking out loud, if the cable size is border line and a hot engine draws more amps on
starting,cable resistance go’s up canbus thinks there is a problem and shuts the circuit down.
It could be, and probably is, a combination of the wire guage and the stater relay ratings being wrong.
I've never tested the current draw, but a recently charged battery (cos the engine is hot) and a warm one to boot, together with hot, thinner oil and all working parts lubed up should produce a lower cranking current; a cold engine with a cold battery is a bugger to turn over.
Could the compression be higher on a hot engine. ?

I cancelled order due to the fact it was the 7 month old battery that gave up, Tom put his tester on it for me.
For some reason I believe it was a piggy back loom and not a replacement
