Welcome to the forum Chris, that's a beautiful 5vy you have there :clap: :clap:

This is a great forum, on the whole we are a friendly bunch and help one and other out, so any questions just ask, I'll be looking at your "not cranking" post next, but as the guys on her know I'm the least technical member on here.

Loads of banter, join in, have a laugh and enjoy your 5vy

Welcome

Stephen :D

Been riding since I was 17. Had a variety of bikes, 33bhp GSXR400, Hornet 6, slightly more than 33bhp RSV1000 when I was 19. Then a Kawasaki ZX636R, VTR Firestorm, Honda 954 Fireblade and now this.

Also ran an R6 and a hornet cup bike on track and an XR250 for green laning at various points too. All good fun.
