Hi Wayne, I've also been rather busy. I started recommissioning my red H2 yesterday and the best part of today also. It's so handy having another H model to refer to in reference to relays and wiring... Work shop manuals are all well and good, however it's better still to have both. Oh and many spare parts too lol. Anyways... It's up an running now after troubleshooting most of the relays as it wasn't turning over on the button. There was no life at all. However the light, horn indicators etc worked fine. It turned out as I was racking my brain, what on earth can it be. Turns out it was the actual ignition press to start button itself. Anyways... I had another right handlebar assembly so I connected it up and it turned over straight away. Bonkers... I put it down to a little oxidation on the contacts. A spray of WD40 on the original and bingo... We have lift off. The charging system seems to be charging too. So tomorrow it's simply a case make a video, put the plastics back and Mot it at some point and enjoy riding it before either I sell it or WW3 arrives. Out of curiosity:- What was the quote from dream machine for a total repray please. Take care. Best regards.
@colinmaddocks9352 Hi Colin, ahh that's good, it's usually a simple thing that typically causes the issues.. I have dealt with similar, cleaning contacts & spraying with electrical cleaning spray. Having a spare ZXR for comparison is also a huge plus 😄👌 I've not obtained the quote yet, I'm still waiting on Kev at DM to finish my ZX12R fairing panel (it had a couple of small marks I wanted gone). It was meant to be ready last week... so I'll have to email him again. Communication isn't their strong point 😏 But I'll let you know once I've spoken to him Ride safe mate.. & hopefully your ZXR will fly through it's mot 👍
@@b_the_lone_wolf Cheers mate 😄👍🏼 I try to do all my own servicing and mechanic stuff.. rebuilding carbs, bearings, brakes etc.. Fewer and fewer bike shops want to take on older bike work like carbs Appreciate the comment though man 😎🤙🏽
@@b_the_lone_wolf Thank you bro.. everyday is a learning day 😁🔧 Anyone can do it, just need to be methodical, and take lots of pictures before taking anything apart 😄👌🏼 Ride safe my friend

Short ride before the dusk can't do any harm 😁

Wow! I am working towards doing as much as I can with regards to my G2 ZX6R. You certainly have most skills required covered! Respect.
