::015:: just found the connector after seeing a picture in another post. I am riding a 2014ES. So can i just put the 2 x 3w LED lights straight in or do I need a relay. I can talk it both ways to myself and so far seem to be loosing my own arguments. Thanks for any advice.

The work was done (and they lent me a Fazer 8 for the morning ), anybody else had this done ??, they also spotted a oil weep from the engine casing on the...

Re: Very hard starting today Hi Guys, New to the forum so please be gentle with me. I have also had the starting problem. Ignition had not be turned on but the bike had been stood for a few days after a long weekend trip to Italy (1800 miles), during the trip the bike had never missed a beat...
