We're in the Eden Valley and while the main roads aren't too bad some of the minor roads are getting to be gravel tracks. There's one bit just near me that has nearly a foot of gravel on one corner. Cars are scraping it all the time.

How far wrong is it? Just one digit like a G instead of a 6 or something like that? Or is it completely different.

Bloody hell, we sold my wife's a few years ago for £1300, far better condition and about the same mileage. Should have held onto it!

If you've tried the crank position sensor (which is a very common cause of this type of fault) can he borrow another ECU? Will the bike tick over all day without the problem? Try another or new battery, the regulator relies on the battery being in good condition to supply the correct voltage on most...

Other than to capture the cause of an accident, I don't see the point in videoing your ride anyway. I find watching videos of other peoples uneventful riding incredibly boring and some of the music people put over the top of it is awful. If I want to see my own rides back over again I'll go ride th...
