Do all bikes whine or am I just riding at too low a RPM?

    SWMBO's did that .. the joints to re-solder are the three vertical ones
    to the right of the pcb. I also soldered the other three just
    'outside' the pcb on the connector, while the cover was off 'just in
    case' ... ;)

    When taking the cover off, be careful of the two connectors in front of
    and to the right, they were _very_ brittle on ours and are a bastard to
    change.

    Fuel consumption, commuting for her every day about six miles each way,
    me using it occasionallly and thrashing it (1000cc) was measured over
    time to average at 51 mpg ... ;)

    I did, but I had to pay for the MOT and tax.

  7. Heh, I had an Asrta like that, lasted me 3 years and I only sold it 'cos
    I needed 4 new tyres and they cost more than the car was worth.

    I pass by Honda, so I asked them to listen. Sounds like a CBF500 is
    what they said. Better get used to it then.
