Take that bike back to the shop and make em fix whatever is leaking for free....

The water Pump Seal and Impeller needed to be replaced a while back - I had the shop do that. I fixed a seal in the thermostat housing myself and had 2 shims put into the motor around 66k when I heard a slight ticking sound. mostly just fluids and tires.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Those look pretty cool, did you use them for front and rear indicators? Looks like they can be wired for either location.

Still better than here in the US. You can get your M1 License at age 17 or 18 and walk into a moto shop and walk out with any motorcycle you can put a down payment on....

Crossed the 130,000 mile mark on my Friday Commute last week.

That thing is so awesome! How it is in the twisties?

Welcome! Is England like Australia where you are required to start with a small displacement bike and ride that for a year before moving to larger displacement?

Sounds like you were just working the motor hard and then came to a stop and the fans just do not move as much as as a bike in motion does, so the temp climbed up until you started moving again and the coolant was able to come down a few degrees. Probably nothing to worry about, but if you have...

Heavy WOP? Wide Open Throttle? If your bike is moving at normal speeds the engine should stay cool. The only time I had my warning light come on is when I stopped on a warmish day and left the motor running while I read something on my phone. I was in place without moving for 5 min or so and...

The popping during decel is normal. I have never taken my Carbs off the bike since I owned it, but I will run carb/injector cleaner through the system every few months to help with Ethanol gunk buildup. For reference I bought my Bike with 37k on the clock and it is just shy of 130k right now...

Ahhhh, I don't think I even noticed the bump stop on the pipe. I will have to take a look at mine when I get home today.
