    I stopped at a ferry booth to pay the ferryman, turned off before using the parking brake. Turned the ignition on again and reset the brake. Paid the ferry girl, turned on the ignition and nothing....

    It doesn't look the same, however it would be cheaper to get with less postage if any compared to Noboot's version.

    Thanks for your reply!

    What is the correct way to fit the covers? Is there a specific position, there does'nt seem to be any markings as to direction it should lie.
  13. C1282 fault on 2012 RT - any simple fixes?

    My new to me 2012 RT (16000kms) has been running well but I've ridden 4000kms in the past month and decided to check the brake fluid levels. All I did was remove the brake master cylinder caps. The...

    Your final video is great indeed but does the camera get in the way of your sideways view, traffic coming out from an off ramp on the right?
