He probably did, but then the previous owner of my bike did all kind of horrible things to it... :grin:

Look up 'porndoguk' on here- he is fabricating correct washers now.

More hassle than it's worth. Just run it till it dies and switch to reserve. You'll learn to do it on the move soon enough.

there is a tap on the right hand side of the bike, where the gap in your seat fairing is. there three positions, On, Off and Reserve.
the tap itself should have writing on it to tell you what position its at.
