like so hammerite smooth black it  is.will not try to remove it.
thank's for the reply.

i have a 2012 plate GTR1400, the main stand is really rusty, is it easy to remove to re-paint, is it simply 2 bolt's to remove.

i have already checked the battery leads & the earth's, i got alf's motorcycles in worthing to pick it up on tuesday, they are pretty sure it's the voltage regulator/rectifier at fault, i noticed when i started it up on tuesday morning the light's were flickering.there's an auto electrician there on this saturday, before they carry out any work they want a 2nd opinion.which is fair enough with me.the bike is a 2012 plate, had it from new & to be totally honest it's 1st issue with it !!!

just a quick update, she has made a full recovery after the stroke, she may be a little slower than normal, we can live with that, she's a fighter for sure.

the BATTERY display on the screen prior to start up is showing 12.3 volt's then it's up to 14.2 then drop's again to 12.3 volt's while riding, the battery was replaced about 2 years ago for the OEM one, could this be the voyage regulator or a duff BATTERY.any advice appreciated.

Thanks for the update.....I hope she recovers 

thank's.

Just an update on the dog, she had a couple of stroke's, her left hand side has been affected & the eye's are unstable, the vet gave her a 50/50 chance that she may recover from it, we are not totally giving up on her as of yet !!!!! will give her a few day's then go from there, the main thing is she is not in pain.

we have a nearly 15 year old Alsatian, a good companion to say the least, took her out yesterday for a walk & she collapsed, (fell to the ground) got an appointment at the vet's this morning at 11.30am, she can't stand up & her eye's are rolling, i think it's time to let her go, we have another dog who is so close to her, it's unbelievable. i've alway's had a dog, it's gut wrenching when they go, she will surely be missed.

well. i done boxhill & newlands corner today, from chichester 110 mile's in all, when i started the bike up the voltage on the display was 12.6v the when out on the road it was reading 14.3v
and 14.4v

Check the battery connections are tight.

they were tight, i cleaned a few earthing points on the leads as well as the battery terminals, gonna take it out for a run.

last weekend the gear change reading was over the place, i took it out today, prior to starting it was reading 12.6v then raised ti 14.3v then while riding went back to 12.6v, then up & down, the the reading was up & down like a YOYO, the battery was replaced with the OEM one about 2 years ago, could it be the battery causing this, may need a trip to the dealers to run it through a diognostic check.

i took the bike out today, and noticed the gear display on the screen was intermittent to say the least, is this an easy fix, or a trip to the dealers.

well, i gave the GTR an oil change & replaced the brake pad's front & rear last weekend, today i had the tyre's replaced, i went for pirelli angel GT 2's, looking forward to some decent weather, i was advised there's a little bit of play, not much in the rear wheel bearing.i will get that replaced along with the air filter & spark plug's.

well, i finally got round to replacing the engine oil & filter, along with the front brake pad's, prior to replacing the pad's they were squealing badly, when i removed the pad's there was plenty of life left on them, to be on the safe side i ordered & fitted new pad's, the pad springs & pad pin's were well messy, with brake dust, cleaned them up & refitted them.

one QUERY, i used SILKOLENE PRO 4 FULLY SYNTHETIC 10w-40, i noticed the dealers use SEMI-SYNTHETIC 10w-40
will this be a problem, or will i be ok using it !!!!

one for PRD, i had ROAD ANGEL GT's fitted, i was well happy with them, i then ordered a new pair and the dealers ordered the wrong size rear tyre so i had to go for metzeler roadtec 01's,as that's all they had in stock at the time, no choice to be honest, i've covered 6,000 mile's on them and there may be a little more, the rear has just started to square off, in all fairness not a bad wearing tyre at all, i have decided to go back with the Pirelli tyres so i have ordered a pair of PIRELLI ANGEL GT 2's. i'm sure i will be happy with them.
