an update. I bought the only suitable ECU (and lockset) on that auction site, and the dealer who supplied the bike gave me something towards the cost . All works fine now! been up and down the private lane I live on a few times. The bike is surprisingly pokey, more than I thought it would be. I needed Traction Control, and it doesn't have it! Now I am buying parts to fix the damage caused... luggage box itself is a little hard to find but the one I have is ok for now.

MInd this cost includes a cylinder head gasket as well. Depends on the condition of the existing one and it could be used again. The dealer deducted that cost from the bill of materials for my 16k mile service. Left the bike with them overnight and picked up 24hrs later. With my mileage, it won't be another eight years before it needs done again + proper service of oily bits so I considered it cost effective for me.

I understand that completely and believe it but application of the theory is far more difficult.

After breaking a few clips that are actually part of the side panels on mine she will be dealer serviced - the cost of the side panels and rewrapping them will far outweigh the cost of the service. A metal knee and arthiritis in the other means that getting down to even adjust the chain is downright painful, so an hour or two messing about, taking panels off, adjusting bits and building her back up would probably have me throwing the bike in the local canal. Strangely enough swapping out brake discs or changing the oil on the Landy are theraputic - done either lying down or standi

The valve clearance checking and adjustment in itself is straightforward but it's easier to swing the radiator out of the way. I changed the coolant at the same time when I did mine. The only real PITA in terms of access is the air filter. The amount quoted is not out of order, provided they actually do everything they should. A dealer would do the job more quickly than me because they work on these bikes often. I didn't keep mine long enough to do the work automatically like I have done with the bikes I liked and kept. Even so the hourly rate and hours needed by the workshop will cost,

day 2 of my new NC750.. have researched, and am a little stuck.. I cant get much EML action, best I can get is a short flash when ignition turned on and diagnostic wires bridged.. otherwise the light is on all the time. Gear selector dash symbol, same result, cant get anything meaningful from this with the bridge in place.. it just flashes on and off at the same intervals (maybe 1 second on, and 1 second off - for ever) - have followed correct procedure. ABS light, this one is showing some faults! 11,12,13,52,53 - I don't think any of these could cut the engine but I
