There’s a few speed cameras here but not many. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone actually getting caught by one because they’re all fixed so everyone knows where they are. The police do occasionally come out with mobile cameras but not that often and it’s always in the same places. The only person I know who got a flash from a fixed camera didn’t get charged because the camera was burned out the next week. He swears it wasn’t him!

It’s so bad I’ve even been wolf whistled by girls when I’ve been getting off the bike. The reaction when I took the helmet off was hilarious! Never seen faces go that red before.

Hi there.
Glad to see a few fellow Scots on the forum. Make the most of those roads there. I’m living in Ireland now and the roads here are shite. I didn’t appreciate the roads in Scotland so much till I moved here. I didn’t appreciate the other drivers either. The driving is really bad here cos there’s no traffic division in the police. Great if you want to get away with speeding but not so great when people tailgate and cut you up and you know there’s not a hope in hell of them getting stopped.
Won’t stop me going out on the bike every day though.

The bearings I have were supplied by Yamaha. I would hope they would have the sense not to seal them or at least put some kind of warning on them but I’ll check that before I rebuild just in case.

Thanks. I checked the plug when i put it in but I’m afraid I foolishly assumed that the mechanic who changed the ignition checked the timing but I will find out for sure and then try all the other things you suggested. Didn’t know that about the seals on the bearings. Why would they do that?
