After forty miles commuting home tonight, my engine cut out, just two miles from home. Thinking it was my spark plug again, I didn't panic as I keep a spare plug and boot in my seat bucket now. But as I went to slide my side stand down, I noticed my actual problem. My side stand cut out switch was hanging off, and dragging on the road, where it had switched to the "off" position. So I managed to turn it by hand to the "on" position, tuck it into the plastic and make it the last two miles to the gas station for my "daily gallon". I bought some duct tape there and taped the switch up under the plastic to stop it dragging out again. Se we can add "black tape" to the list of things under my seat! Lol
Does anyone know if I can just snip the cables off and short them out? I don't know how long the tape will stick, and I can't be bothered fixing it properly as it never gets used anyway.
The good news is, I've passed my car test now, so im not racking up the mileage on the scoot quite as much as I was before. And I've booked on for my bike theory next month, so I should be able to move up the cc's for next season!
