Apparently, when asked which is your favourite child, you are meant to pick one of your own... Grum makes some salient points...all of the...
I thought the Bridgestone BT45 or 46 were perfectly decent tyres in the stock sizes, and the 46 is a current generation so should be available...
Your brake lights are powered through fuse E, along the W/G wire to each switch, back through G/Y wire, passes through a single 3P plug (I presume...
The diagram is from the service manual, I don't have a 1200 but hope it helps. [ATTACH] If you want to use LED's you are best off installing an...
[ATTACH] Get some genuine parts from somewhere like Partzilla. I'd suggest replacing 14 and 6 on the diagram, those are the roller weights and...
