  1. Yeah, I saw all the other threads on it, and have enquired at a few places that say they can refurb them. Someone might have a solution but not holding out much hope

    Pain in the arse not being able to rebuild them but then it' is 26 years old.

  2. Fiddled about with the billet starter switch that was on my 1098R - want to fit it to my 749R trackbike but the 1098 wiring is a 4 wire connector whereas the 749 has an 8 block connector (with 7 wires). Worked out which 3 are redundant so will do a cut n’ shut splice next time I’m fiddling about.

    I think it was no more than about £30. Very solid build and really useful...

  4. Been riding without a rear brake light due to a faulty switch for some time now. Not such an issue as it still works when the front brakes are used. But with the m.o.t soon, thought I'd get it fixed.

    No help from gecko rearsets who supplied the original brake switch as they've decided not to reply to my emails anymore. Fine I'll make it myself.. £12 in total for a universal banjo and plug to connect together. all working now. Just the fiddley job trying to attach it in its original position behind the rearsets..
