....riding along yesterday, thinking how great the bike was running, when I noticed that my Venhill featherlight clutch that I love so much, felt a bit more 'grabby' than usual, a few seconds later the red warning light briefly flicked on before the bike cut out.Smoke coming from the battery area!!Ignition off, seat off quickly and fuse out and I spotted the problem.I really am such a dopey tw*t at times The new battery that I had recently fitted was shorting out (live terminal against the clutch cable).It basically melted the covering of the cable, which in turn melted anything near it.I know it could have been so so so much worse, but I really do need to have a word with myself and start paying attention.
