Thats the Brown Connector in the Bin where it belongs & the yellow Wires Soldered. Also the new Wemoto Solenoid arrived in the post today.
Now making up the Wiring mod ready for fitting. Getting there.....
 
One thought this thread gave me: Is there a thread anywhere advising those new to RSVs what to check for when deciding to buy?
 
I bought my 2001 at 26k, haven't done any of those mods, and the clock went past 50k a couple of tankfuls ago. Previously a Pirelli man, I favour Dunlops at the moment. The current Roadsmarts have done 6k already and have only just started to square off. Even the battery is only a 'replace once it starts struggling' really. The most important thing is to have it serviced regularly. I do an oil change evry 6 months, then Griff does his full service once every 10-12 months or so.

Stock solenoid is under rated at 50A for the current required to start these beasts :exclamation the replacement ones are 150A plus with the addition of the higher rated battery allows easier starting :thumbup
