What have you done on your bike today?

He loves it, The bloke on it is moi, I rode it from Tavistock. It would be greatly improved with a bigger tank, the tank that you see is pseudo the pipe from the filler goes to a tank under the seat and has to be filled very slowly or glugs back out. A 1200cc bike with cruise control and a 13 litre tank 🤣. It was a lot quieter than the Spitfire and a smooth comfortable ride.
I nearly bought one, i was going to trade the Springfield in for one!!🤷‍♂️
 
Today after selling an item on Ebay last night for a nice wedge of cash i sent it off first thing. The money couldn't of come at a better time, i then rode out to Salisbury and had a greggs sausage roll and a tea.😋 The Enfield was running a bit odd yesterday and it wouldn't tick over right so i had a look this morning and the air filter wasn't on properly. It had got snagged on the jubilee clip holding the fuel line on so turned it round and the filter went on just right, it ticks over sweet as a nut now.(y) You fix one problem and then another one turns up, i now have no brake light, front and rear, i'll look at tomorrow!! Anyway i went shopping then home.:)

I thought they had headlights on the front, not brake lights :unsure:
 
You don't need to check which end is which of a 1260 Diavel S before you get on. You can see distinctly, even from a distance.
And please make sure you get some curtains for your Diavel Pants... we don't need your Klingons on show :poop::poop::poop:

Whilest on the DGR on Sunday I noticed my rear brake was squeeling a bit. Just had a look at the caliper & thought I'd better change the pads, after only 3970 miles I think I've had my monies worth out of this set !! 🫣 Somewhat embarrassing !! ;) The actual disc has cleaned up enough for it to be OK, for me anyway !!
I was going to check the fronts too as they looked a bit low, but at least there was still some actual pad left on both of them. So changed them too & the brake fluid in both brake systems.

Today i had a look into why my brake light isn't working, electrics are not my strong point but the brake switch should be a walk in the park right!! No, i've gone through the wiring diagram that shows the brake light wires go to the fuse box. I went through all the fuses with another fuse and nothing, i've got a brand new bulb in there because the old one was blown on the brake light filament. Gone through the wires and checked just about everything that would cause the brake light to stop working!!🤷‍♂️ Before i had it MOTd two weeks ago to the day the brake light was fine, i even checked the brand new bulb and that is fine. I'll have another go at it tomorrow, it's like my horn that worked fine then two days before the MOT it stopped working so had to get a new one, it's smaller than the standard one but 10 times as loud!!:)

Can you disconnect the two wires, (I'm assuming it only has two ?) or plug from the switch & short the two wires together ?
If the brake light illuminates then the fault is with the actual switch, if the light doesn't illuminate then the fault is elsewhere. That's normally the best/easiest place to start.
