    Sorry to hear about Shoes unfortunate accident. Glad to hear he’s already on the mend.
    From me and my family, we wish you a quick recovery, and no lasting effects from this mishap.

    I missed it, but the happy couple did pop in to see us on the way to their honeymoon which was nice.

    I’d be wary of doing the deal outside of the protection of ebay. The address may well exist but that means nothing to someone who has a phonebook to pick one out of.

    Depends on the method of payment you use.
    Do they have feedback on E-bay?

    I have had the same warning too, and I tried to let them know as the owner of the domain that we aren’t a Phishing site. The form asks for information we just don’t have, I guess we should have a privacy policy, but I don’t have the funds for a lawyer to write it up 🙂
    I will have to look it up and see what can be done.

    There are places which will re-wind the stators or rotors, I found some before when I found my own one was u/s. There was one place which did a service exchange if they had one in stock.
    A search on Google will produce results, as I lost all my links when my hard drive crashed.

    I haven’t had any more problems with mine since somebody on the old site sent me a repaired one they had. What problems have you heard of specifically?

    I am considering changing the grease nipple for a 90 degree instead of 45 degree angle, and turning it to make it more accessible.

    Maybe the oil pressure is that good it never drops enough to ever bring the light on. It could happen.

    it’ll stop you worrying about it up until the engine siezes along the motorway.

    As the oil light reacts to oil pressure, you have either a dodgy switch or low oil pressure.
    Only other thing could be a wire which has been chafed through and shorting to bring the light on.
    If you can get an oil pressure gauge and adaptor to fit in place of the the Z750’s pressure switch you can test the pressure. If not change the switch and hope.

    Good luck with the Suzuki Endless, just the right time of the year to get a bike for the good weather.

    I was giving him the benefit of the doubt (what little doubt there is as to his humanity or otherwise).

    Good news then mate just human error to blame this time and not gremlins of any kind.
