Often
I think ice on the edge of a puddle/pothole pulled me in, the front didn't budge at all which is strange

I've put that bike through a lot of standing water, it's never behaved like that

Whatever
Over the weekend - got back from being out and about on Saturday to coolant pissing out the rad cap. Temp gauge was fine so reseated the cap and it was better, but still letting steam out. Onto David Silver Spares and ordered a new cap, oil filters and removal tool, then onto Amazon for a Puig fly screen. Also need to look into new rear indicators as the stalk on one is broken and had been bodged with cable ties.

Bike desperately needs a clean, it is absolutely stinking!!

really well!
Anyone recommend a usb port for the bike? Or will any wee cheap eBay job do? Looking a inconspicuous one that can be mounted out of the way

if you have luggage space, get a lidl engine booster pk,
no wiring, 2 x 2A usbs and a ciggy socket so ya can plug in a bigger one if necessary .bit of velcro to stop it jumping about maybe.
those chinese and weird handlebar usb ports tend to be 0.5- 1.0A and dont charge a lot of modern phones.
handy too if someone needs a jump start too.

I heard the optimate one was good, but I don't have it myself. Check the voltage if you buy a cheap one, just in case.
