I have e-mailed your YT link to my dealer ( AllBikes Of Rochdale ) to see if they have any idea.

Only other thing, I noticed with the rear brake, for some reason now... when I pull it, it doesn't go back to how it's supposed to, so the rear light is staying on, I have to pull it to brake and then hit it up with my fingers afterwards so people behind me don't think i'm still braking.

Aftermarket levers?

[jojo87]

Yep, no problem with them since buying them in February though, since I had the Bike back from the Dealer it's been playing up, will check over it tomorrow.

Bit of grease. Oil at a pinch?

[you you]

Are they higher bars than stock?

[jojo87]

Same bars, only changed the grips, levers and mirrors, but did all this pretty much when I got the Bike...
everything has been fine, but noticed the other day that the brake light seemed really bright, so pulled the brake to see how much lighter it went...
but obv noticed that the brake was already on (reason why it was bright)...
i'll take it off tomorrow and redo it, see if that helps.

jojo87 why do you only have one L plate displayed, thought the law is one to front and one to rear, have the cops ever pulled you.

[jojo87]

Nope never, since 2012 when I first got a Bike I haven't had one on the front... I've never known where to put one as I don't like just sticking ones on the front screen or having the harder plastic ones coming out of the side of the wheel, I have a sticker one now on the front fender.

[iceman]

Chances of getting pulled over is rare, esp. as it is not easy to spot you only have one L plate fitted (if they are behind you, how can they tell, if they are approaching you - are they really going to spot one on the back and turn around). That said, if you are involved in an accident and photo's are taken or police attend, your insurance is invalid - even if you have cut-down L plates like some riders have - just the Red L and no large white space - it has to be the approved size.

Btw - have you ever had the L Plate being 'buffeted' by the exhaust fumes? My rear L plate is fitted like yours and I added some rubber between the rear fender and the L plate to try and stop the knocking/rattling, but sometimes it still does it.

[willie5094]

My thought too iceman on the insurance thing, probably depends which copper pulls you over some would maybe warn you and others would do you, not worth the hassle. I too sometimes here the rattle from the rear L plate and I too have rubber in between, not sure what the answer would be, apart from doing the bike test.

[jojo87]

When I had my accident I only had the one on the back, and not the front...
and I had 3 Bikes before that and always has one just on the backs,
but on the front now, like I said, I have a sticker one on the fender but the white is cut down to it fits on...

Regarding the rear one, I don't think i've had any issues with it, at the moment it's off because when I went back on the Bike, it tore the L Plate and the plastic screws snapped,
so just waiting to get the yellow screws, but i've been out on the Bike about 4 times without the back L Plate on and just the front one on the fender (which is there but not in your face)

I don't think the Police around here really look and bother to be honest, theres usually a lot of Bikes around here that go around illegally through red lights, and wheelies up the streets etc,
also Scooters that look ruined and look like they have no MOT but teens still go around the streets on them....
I suppose when they see me, they see the new 2015 PCX and the Helmet and Camera and probably don't expect me to have L Plates so don't really notice lol

Been minus my rear one for about 3 days now, suppose I had better get a new one sorted
