i'm gonna be on holiday for 10 weeks (!) over the summer, and obs this means putting my bike to bed for that time.... trouble is it looks like a few issues have come up in the past couple weeks! first is that the indicators aren't working - tracked to a bust fuse, put a new one in and it did the exact same thing; second that it sounds like a rattlesnake has got into the engine at around 4k rpm. i'm thinking camchain tensioner is stuck/buggered (bike is a GPZ500 D7 with 33k).

so do i sort these before or after the 2 months? worst thing would be to come back to it and it not work on me!

Thumbs Up

Hi Mate,

To me you are only asking "should you fix it now or later".

The bike's problems are not going to go away.

Simples, do what you cba'd to do.
