  1. Ive fitted mitani switch with LED and it reads 1k so id be surprised if those clever japanise chappies would be wrong. If Led comes on circuit is flowing current so its working, and circuit is complete. Will check if it is noticeable tomorrow.

  2. Ring lampkins and they will not only give you advice they will send parts required. reasonable prices and great service. They are top blokes. While since I spoke to them but Gary is the parts man and if necessary he will put you through to the mechanic.

     My mates beta had a similar issue and it was dry big end bearing. He dropped 2stroke  oil ( very small amount) through the spark plug hole  and let soak overnight .Ran  next day and noise went away.

  3. If pistons are moving out ok with old pads, I would take out the actuating rod from master cylinder end and try again. You may have over adjusted and it blocks backflow of brake fluid. wouldn't open bleed nipple in case you get air in as they can be a pig to bleed.

  4. Do you have Motul gearbox oil ? If you have it will show as green through the inspection window.

    I had the same trouble with a 2011 Pro . It turned out to be caused by the sump plug bottoming out before it completely compressed the copper washer. The solution was 2 copper washers which fixed it immediately.

  5. Details from Gaggas Uk website. It is a 420 chain

    RENTHAL 420 Chain and sprockets conversions coming in stock now ! With close collaboration with our major Sponsor 'RENTHAL' we can now offer a fantastic weight saving idea for your GG Pro. With the superb quality of the RENTHAL R1 Chain we have found that their 420 sized chain is more than strong enough to cope with bikes up to 250cc under 'normal use'. The superb quality R1 420 Chain is actually stronger than most 'normal' quality 520 chains on the market! The biggest advantage of using the 420 Chain and sprockets conversion is the OVER 500 GRAMS (0.5KG) of weight saving !! Also with the PRO125 the usual preferred gearing of 9 x 48T actually does not work 100% efficiently...A 9T 520 front sprocket affects the running of the chain (cyclic variation) and can also make the bike stall quite easily. We have found that using the new 420 chain on an equivlant 11T 420 sprocket runs ALOT better which helps the running / spinning of the rear wheel and so helps performance and helps prevent stalling. The rear wheel runs alot more freely and helps with the relatively low power with a 125cc. This 420 chain and sprocket conversion has been thoroughly tested in various conditions on Kevs own 225cc machine and also on a 250cc machine in various conditions. FOR PRO125 --- The preferred 520 sprockets are 9 x 48. The equivlant in the new 420 size would be 11 x 58. FOR PRO250 --- The preferred 520 sprockets are 10 x 42. The equivlant in the new 420 size would be 12 x 50 Also the physical size of the new 420 sized sprockets are significantly smaller to help clear rocks etc. This is a fantastic idea which WORKS very well. You have just got to trust the smaller 420 chain.

  6. front brake differs from rock hard to dead soft is this likely to be master cylinder failure?

    Check you have enough free play at the lever. The hole in the M/C which allows the fluid to flow back gets partially blocked with insufficient lever clearance and results in the brake feel becoming rock hard. Failing that bleed the brake right through so fluid is changed and check all pistons are moving.
