My original Yuasa was the same,I do a bit with batteries the one off ebay is really good money,and while your at it dremmel the blanking plate out of the airbox(don't try undo the screws that hold it together) and if your changing the airfilter put a K+N in.

Edit: Sorry Kenny, I was about to hijack you thread by talking airbox, so I started a new one.

Does yours run well then Kenny, or do you have the usual issues?

WRT TuneECU, what I mean is, if it's running ok, look but don't touch  :D

Oh how naive you are mate......

Once you've got the TuneECU kit, drop me a PM.  I have an idea that could make this easy for you.  Well, it won't make it harder anyway.... :?

First, no, I'm not coming up at least not in the forseeable; we're moving house next week.

Take it a step at a time, and pm me as you go; I'll send you my phone so you can ring for help.
