I watched a video - about the WD40 method of powdercoating.... new to me, it might help if you just need to coat something to protect it...

Pushed it 3/4 mile  Home  New Battery reading 6v  :help: 

 

So  after fitting new battery last night starts bike this morning - sounds  like something is running in back ground  so rode to shops 

 switched off ignition  sounds like engine still turning over even with key removed  - key back in switch ignition on = engine running

no starter button req   :dunno:  switched off again and eventually engine stopped and battery  down to 6v   :isurrender:

So Gentlemen - any ideas?

Had a very similar problem on my old mk1, the starter solenoid had stuck and caused the starter motor to run continually.  Couldn't stop it running with the ignition or killswitch and it eventually flattened the battery and burnt out the starter motor. Also had to push the bike home. Rolleyes

That sounds like  a good bet

That sounds  exactly the same issue  - Hopefully I haven't knackered the Starter motor 

 

Even though it was slightly Down hill I was still Sweating like a pig by the time I got home  ( Sure the Bikes getting heavier as I get older  Tongue )

 

Right thats 2 for Starter Solenoid fault - new one ordered 

 

Need to recharge Battery - Not removing it though  Rolleyes

I was thinking of getting mine mot'd and didn't even consider that the mot bodz might not be open.  Hmmm, will give 'em a call on Monday.

 

Sure you could ride local as part of one's mental wellness extra fries ?

Think it was only my local MOT place he said they are usually busy in December so was taking his holidays that he was owed



As for the ride out will have to use it as a measure for my business

Stripped off the rear wheel. Axle was seized (despite using anti corrosion grease, but that was years ago and we get a lot of salt here !) . Rear disc bolts came out with lots of heat and patience. All bearings looking good but a couple of dust seals have cracks. New wavy rear disc and bolts coming.

 

The swingarm has a bit of play on it so that is coming out for inspection next.

 

Happy with the existing rear shock which was rebuilt a couple of years ago, but curious to try something else which performs better than standard

I appreciate the offer Steve. I've got a homemade doobrey I have used before but if I can't get the job done I'll probably give you a shout, thanks
