FFS!

I tried to take the 14 out today & despite be fine when I put it back in the garage the other week after working on it, it's playing dead again. It's running on two cylinders and one of the oil cooler pipes has burst. I've put it back & left it to think about it's actions.

The cooler pipe has gone on the solid pipe section, so unlike when they've leaked before I can't take it to pirtex to get sorted. I'll have to replace it & they are £140 each from Suzuki, I'd best do both as if one has rotted through the other can't be far off. No idea why it's running on two it was fine when I put it away after balancing the throttles last time.

Bloody bikes.

Dunno, it run fine when put away so bit odd for them to have died. I'll look at it when I've got the oil pipes, no point running it to find the fault while it's pissing oil out.

Is it time to rename this section as good seems to be a bit of a misnomer?

Yup, but it should* show a warning light if a coil isn't connected.

I pulled my bike out of the garage today, then put it away once I'd got the bits I needed from behind it, I did sit on it and make brrrm brrrm noises, not ridden since early October and I'm itching to get out but the weather is still utter dogshit.
