As usual, just had a fill up when needing to take tank off, when it weighs 25 kg. Managed evenshhhhhhualy, then it rained.

Later I had the airbox off and, voila, it's the idle control stepper motor. Luckily (again) I had a spare in the cellar from the previous incarnation (which threw the bottom end on the Severn bridge).

Took me a while to find it so retired for the day. Very close to where I found it were quite a few bottles of vino. Being weak of spirit, I succumbed. Tomorrow is another day.

So pleased that I got another identical bike as it has just about paid for itself in spares for this one.
