Finally got the RSV running after what seems like years in the shed. Was only 2 months but it seemed like an eternity.
New solenoid and battery fitted, had to bugger about with the sidestand switch cos it was playing up (turns out the 2-wire Fireblade switch works just fine). Checked the brown connector, but it's fine. Wheeled her outside and away she went. A very short run up the road to make sure it ran ok, and now I'm a happy man.
Or I will be when I've managed to undo the rear suspension bolts to swap the shock. And I have a problem with the headlight; the main beam sometimes plays up, plunging me into darkness. Has anyone else had this problem? Seems like a switch problem to me, I'll take a look next week, unless anyone's got a spare.....:devious
