  • I’ve been looking at that kit. How do you rate it? Seating department looks a bit lacking.

  • It’s ok. Gearbox is cool.

    This and the GS1200 are both a little small though. Only 600 odd pieces which means probably a 90 min build time. £60 feels a little too much for that.

  • Got a hot restart problem with my Street Triple. Does anyone have experience with Chas Bikes in Kennington?

  • Sailed through MOT! Dancer

  • Cool. Very cool.

  • Hello, thought they are injected?

    Chas bikes, man has a great 'tache, well did when I was last there. Used to use them for MOTs as they were near where I worked. One MOT guy was honest and the other was a pain in the arse and we had to look at the mot guide a few times.

    Usually FWR is handy in they area. Friends use them and have used them for tyres and parts.

  • It's no GS ;)

  • It's no GS ;)

    Dead to me!

    Best GS reference ever!

  • First photo on the first post on this thread too.

  • Does it just keep turning over without kicking in? I used to have that with my ST. It was hot starter motor for me. The old starter couldn't turn over properly. Changed for a new one and it never failed to start.

  • My old mate Guy has one of the best GS160 I know. He's hired it out to TV and film numerous times

  • Yep. Engine cranks, clutch in, neutral then hit the start and it cuts out like the battery is dead. Clocks cut out then nada. Somewhere something isn't getting the voltage.

    Changed battery, and its on trickle charge. I've used my voltmeter and its sitting nicely above 12V off charge and when cranking.

  • Can you get to the starter solenoid to short it and see if the bike turns over.

    That way you can see which section is causing issues.

  • Latest news from South London Ducati Storage Inc. - a V4R incoming, the V4S moving on to make space

  • Try what @lynx said. If you short the starter solenoid and it does the same thing, might be the starter.
    Not on my ST, but I had the same thing on the SV, turns out the brushes were worn down, so despite full voltage on battery, power wasn't spinning up the starter.

  • Had this happen on my BMW. Just needed the high amp cable to be unbolted and then tightened. I did remove it and clean it properly afterwards but those connections do need to be conducting well.

  • Check the side stand cut out switch isn’t stuck.

  • Oof. That’s something I’d like to see!

  • @lynx What's the word on Multistrada 1000ds? After selling the tiger I had my eyes set on the 1100s, but most I've asked about have gappy background and I need something quick as I want to get out for the city with the other half for a bit.

    I'm aware of the common faults and keeping up to date on the usual suspects, but this just came up and It looks like quite the bargain: Is it any worse than an 1100s?

  • Would anyone be interested in a 2018 Yamaha XSR700?

    Blacked out version. I have loads of parts for it that I have hoarded and never fittted.

    I am thinking of selling since I have not used it at all this year!

  • Eh eh? How comes? Thought you were commuting on it to work?

  • Smt 990. Wont regret it

  • Dude, I wish I could. There was neighbor getting rid of his with a full pannier set for 3.5k. Alas, the GF hated it. It was and I quote 'esta muy enojada'. Honestly, I have no idea how they managed to make that bike exist. It was wild but so fun and way more character than I expected.
    Also really sorry for not replying man. It's been wild times at the moment. 6 day weeks for the past few weeks till we run out of bikes.
