Thought it was OK- WITT- but it ain't.

I think this is where Paul Marx steps in and says something about points...

Ah, the good old days of points ignition. It might be old technology but at least I could understand how that stuff works - and you could fix it on the side of the road with a stone and a sharp stick.


John. Good healthy eating tips there. I could stand to lose a few kilos. Only problem is that I've rid myself of the other half, so I have uncontrolled access to the kitchen and pantry. On the up side, there's nobody to complain if I want to cook bike bits in the oven or wash parts in the dishwasher. The photo below shows a dirty old Kawasaki centrestand in the dishwasher with the pots and plates. It came out nice and clean, degreased and ready for painting. 

Cheers,
Cam

Fired up first thing.   (banghead) (dunno)

Still, while it was apart I managed to paint the bottom of the sidepanels satin black (where the fixing bolt goes- it was the same colour as the rest of the panel) to help define the shape of the bike more, so it wasn't a wasted excersise...

self-healing attitude - they sometimes have that...

The hairdryer seemed to do the job- moisture?  Who knows?

Hello Lads and the few of us wearing shorts these many years,  after issuing the edict of  "Whom is wearing the pants in this house"....    never did care for long pants much anyway.  Cam seems to have mastered his house,  fist full of dollars pressed into the palm of the partner,  "you go shopping for as long as you like"...i'll wash up while your away!  Men really are devious...

  Reggie, obvious,  you need carry a gas powered hairdryer in your Laverda tool kit,  not like we would point finger with loud guffaw's and snide snickering,  the odd burst of outright fits of laughter.  Gentle souls we be whom ride Laverda's.


Unit repair:
    Still early time in regard to the misoperation of the DMC II module.  You may have already effected a working repair,  Piet mentioned moisture does ingress around the switch bank if the plug is not present,  though i note you mentioned it was intact on yours.  Still,  ( i would ) warm the unit in an oven,  very careful not to overheat the internal parts.  If there was a hard reason for any internal part to produce the problem as indicated so far,  it is becoming less likely with each day of proper operation, ie parts very seldom repair themselves...apart from Styro capies...amazing those capies....    First rule of repair,  Ommmmmmm Ommmmmm  relax relax,  10 deep breaths and then wack the Bj's out of the problem with a big hammer...
