Re: Do I need a new battery or is this normal ?

On the newer bikes there was a batch of batteries that would internally fail when warm, which meant they would start from cold every time but would struggle when the bikecwas warm. If you search the forum you will find the battery batch numbers. Personal I'd just use the bike more if possible and se...

Re: Top box too small

I have the 49lt topbox and can fit 2 x shoei neotec helmets in side by side.

Re: Vertu buy Allan Jefferies

Purchased 4 bikes from the Shipley dealership and the service was always great, they have a deal with you and always get discount on parts, clothing etc. Hope it continues 😀

Re: full beam. Why?

Ill always have one lower light on, as one goes out so the indicator is clear to see for motorists it lights the road straight away after the indicator canels
Works well in conjunction with the active headlight function.

I've not ran into anything yet at night-time

Re: Michelin Pilot Road 2

That tyre has circa 4k on it already and as you can see loads left on it,
Don't recommend the road 5 as it was proven to be to soft and gave crap mileage, I only got 4k on a rear Road 5 on my RT

Re: Tyre Sealant

Don't use it Mike as it can also knacke the PSI sensor. Use normal roadside puncture plugs as a temporary repair, Sim had a puncture in Spain 2 yrs ago in his front tyre and the temporary repair lasted him approx 18 months and about 2k miles haha
