First - Done (may have solved the flat spot while at 100kmph, vac tube was almost but not quite all the way hard against the r/h side of carby. didn't think any air could have gotten in/out there, as it was clipped, but it seems it may have been)
Second - Did before posting.
Third - Soz, I'm not as mechanically minded as others here, for me to do things like that, I would love a link to some working pictures so I know what I am looking for/at. I learn great when I know what I need to do, but a written description usually gets me in more trouble than when I started
I get that I must be looking for kickstand and clutch lever cut-out switch connectors, so 2 wires with a male female type connection for both kickstand and clutch (unless they both connect into the same connectors) but where would I find them, and what do they look like.
I'm not kidding when I say I know farkall. I am savvy enough to do the air filter and oil filter/change, but that's about it.
I'll give anything a go myself, but I don't want to go in blind and make things worse thinking I'm doing good if you know what I mean.
I've always dumped my bike on mechanics to fix, and payed a freaking huge labour bill for my troubles, but now I am sole income earner and a baby due within a month, so want to save money any way I can. And bike is my only means of transport to work.
Please be patient with me. Talk to me like you would a child, I won't take offense.
