I thought some of you may be interested in this YouTube video that I came across on welding plastic motorbike panels:

Why not get an independent engineer report. That's what I did and he is the person that spotted the bent lock stop on my bike. I paid £100 for the report and he came to the same conclusion about the bike being beyond economic repair (the quote for repair also included a completely new frame). The engineers report from the insurance company was even more expensive as they assumed the bike had a full frontal impact whereas it had dropped on it's left at very low speed. In the end, my insurance settlement has paid for all of the repair work, but in my case, a third party was involved.

I'd still cover a bike in windy conditions, the trick is to completely wrap it in a long length of elastic to keep the whole cover tight to the bike.

Does sound a bit ott for a drop . I crashed my blade at about 30 mph years ago and the bars on full lock hit the stop on the left side lock stop . Fella stripped the front end off, had my forks trued , Ali welded the stop and re profiled it . They then reassembled the bike with new yokes just in case . He even straightened the bracket for the fairing stay , fitted new plastics and the bill was about £1800 if I remember rightly. what a royal pia for such a minor thing. I did the same by taking the car to work that day and I left the cover off of the bike to save the same thing happening to

On the NC700 (I'm assuming the 750 also) the fan is controlled by the engine ECU, using the coolant temperature sensor which is in the thermostat housing, right side of the cylinder head top, forward of your right knee as on the bike. There isn't a temperature "switch" as often found on other bikes, usually in the radiator header tank. The ECU decides when the fan is required and sends a signal to the fan relay, which powers up the fan. I'd start at the coolant temperature sensor in the thermostat housing, remove the connector, dry/lube (WD40 or contact cleaner etc). It

OMG that brings back some painful memories. It was the choice of poison at Options Nightclub, Kingston, in the early 90's. Whatever you ordered (unless it was more expensive), you got Snakebite. Fosters and White Lightning in a ratio defined by how out of date they were. The headache on Thursday morning lasted until the second pint on Friday night. You'd have been safer using floor cleaner to wash down poppers. The only plus was that the government paid for most of it. Andy

Nonsense, it will be Snakebite all round and a rendition of Kumbaya with a group hug
