Sorry everyone, due to a family disaster I won’t be going anywhere for a while. Short version is my 7 Y.O. daughter got her feet badly scalded with boiling water and is bandaged up to her ankles. Daddy has to carry her to the toilet etc. Many visits to hospitals for re-dressing means lots of fuel money spent, and no money for playing.
Hopefully I will meet some of you this year somewhere.

Good to hear from you, and keep us informed of your progress. 🙂

The writing is a bug in the system when you do a preview before posting, it’s a pain in the ass.
I’m interested in the forks, will arrange to come and pick up soon.

If all else fails I will help to get the parts sent across.

I spent a morning repairing little things on the bike yesterday. Improved the handling quite a bit with the correct amount of new oil in the forks, sliding the overlength Z650 forks through the yokes to get the same ride height as the originals. Also put bulbs in the speedo and upped the tyre pressures from 10psi 😮 to around 38 psi.

OK let’s get something organised. I should be able to do any weekend and maybe a weekday with notice, but only a daytrip for me. I’m in Milton Keynes. I’ll look for something going on where we could meet up i.e a motorcycle show etc?
Unless anyone has any ides already?

Just looking for a decent set of fork legs, don’t need the yokes, wheel or anything else really.

Ooh what’s the price of the forks Norman?

[dougyt]

Do you still have the forks? What condition are they in?

I was up at that cafe recently. That would suit me any time. If anyone this end of the country wants to meet up any time either at that cafe, or another place around the top of the M25 just let me know.
I had a good ride out last week, details at the link in my sig.

Thanks Phill. I’ll have to look for one.

Checked a bit of info on the local campsite, no tents so I’d guess bikers with tents would be very unwelcome lol.
I’m going to look at Billing in Northampton, it’s about 20 miles from me but they do hold the 16ers moped meets there each year (classic bike show for 50cc mopeds etc.)

Take a look at the May events list http://www.billingaquadrome.com/events/april-and-may
The annual Z Event for Owners & Clubs and fans of Japanese performance motor vehicles that sounds like something we should look into.

As it’s the feed for the switch I would say you’re right it would be coming from a live feed which is live when the ignition is switched on.

I would guess it’s going to the Starter solenoid to power that up. There isn’t enough info on that diagram to see where the wire comes from at the other side of the switch.
It looks as if the top part of the switch is the lights, the next part is the engine kill, and the bottom part a feed from the ignition, through the switch to the starter solenoid. But that’s all just a guess without the rest of the diagram.
I’m looking to see what I can find but my own manual doesn’t cover the later models.

Now the tax is bought and paid for too. So it’s ready to ride on the first cloudless day.
