I washed it not very thoroughly, didnt polish it, you lot would be very dismissive but it works hard and does a good job

I love my Omega Speedmaster Professional. I love the history behind it, and the NASA connection. It's an old fashioned mechanical manual wind chronograph. I decided early on that if I was going to spend serious money on a watch, I wanted cogs, springs and wheels, not a battery and circuit board. It...

hmm never mind, its done now :D I have had my swing arm bearings replaced for the first time at 66k, and due to some sort of cock up and the lhs one collapsing, had to have it replaced last week, along with the pivot pin, at 69,200 miles. Facepalm. Having taken it all to bits the mechanic said the r...

Forget me if I am wrong but a big service woud be: Oil / Filter Gerabox and bevel box oil change Air Filter Spark plugs Alternator belt Valve clearnces Pads if required. If you can do the work yourself the parts are less than £100 or a little more with pads) So nothing out of the ordinary then. I'm...

I dont know what was wrong with it, but its nowhere near as bad now. Still misfires a little on start up and around 2000 rpm, but I'll leave it alone for now.

Yep. Ignition switch just needed copious lubing. Now back to the original problem ....

Thanks Dai and Steve for the info on the hall sensor. What i have got at the moment is no power at all. I am thinking ignition lock, battery terminals, big power cable chafed/earthed or main fuse or something like that. The neutral light started to flicker at the traffic lights this morning, the eng...

Thanks chaps, i will have a look round tonight for the obvious stuff, if i cannot find anything i will have a look at the hall sensor thingy after that.

Pushed it home half a mile, in full kit of course. Fun

I will post up what i find out

And.....

This morning on the way to work it cut out. Dead, no power anywhere

Haynes Manual out when I get home then.

Try Trading standards and see what they say ?

Having done all the above in my last post, i couldn't find any problem. Put it back together and could not replicate the fault. That was during the week. So today I wheeled it out of the garage, started it up and it spluttered and cut out again while warming up on fast idle. Same as before. Having w...

i have had a bit of a head scratch today and played a bit. There is definitely a misfire during warm up on the rh cylinder lasting 1 to 2 seconds. Its possible to see the intake pipe to the cylinder chugging and vibrating. Tickover is lumpy, pick up from idle is lethargic and lumpy. I took off one s...

its not direct help,sorry about that, but i a had a set of wheels at Hagon in Essex for some work a while back and they sourced new bearings at a very good price for me. Maybe you could ask them ?

I have considered the sensible thing this morning - go and try to fix the bike.

However, the weather is too nice, it will have to wait
