Six days...

That's all it took.

"Hello Carole Nash Breakdown service?"

One fried reg/rect, cooked battery and slightly overdone wiring loom
connector. Oh well, I guess it had to happen on account of it being a
known weakness of this bike.

At least it's sorted now although I could've done without the 250 quid
hit on my wallet.

 

Hahahahahahahaha.

You meet the nicest people stood next to a broken Honda.

 

Heh. It is just about the only known weakness of the 750s.

Happened to my brother's - he's now got some sort of CPU fan rigged up
to keep it cool.

 

BWAHAHAHA. You must be jinxed, you.

 

<whimper>

 

well I seem to remember you can already tick off the 'fried reg/rect',
not sure about the other 2 though....

It's Timo. Anything could happen.

 

Yebbut, what about the unknown weaknesses?

That seems to be the suggested 'fix'.

 

I have an 80mm computer case fan on my XJ600's. Works a treat.

 

Here is where I get mine. http://www.electrexworld.co.uk

 

NAHAY?

 

SteveH says...

Extend the loom and hang it out under the bottom yoke in the breeze. I
did this with my GSX750EFE one, because they had a known reg/rec frying
problem as well. I sold the bime to a mate, he returned the reg/rec to
it's original position and it caught fire within two weeks.

 

The only time any of my bikes has had to be recovered was when I
realised (while riding in Scotland) that my rear tyre was shedding
chunks of rubber and I could see the bit underneath the tread..

I think I must be the anti-Timo.

That's not bad...

No, that would be the SpeedySpic.

 

You are incredible, you know that?

It certainly removed any desire I might of had to ride it 500 miles
back home. This was my ZX-10 (the original one) that had been breathed
on to increase power.
Straight-line it was awesome - it just wouldn't corner very well. And
it ate tyres.

I'd rather be known for something else but these days you've got to
take what's on offer.

Clockwise or counter-clockwise?

 

<ticks off appearances by recovery trucks>

I think not, actually.

 

Lightweight.
