I have to admit that it was more of a quick look over and nothing looked obviously wrong. Sounds like I need to investigate closer!

If you could find out some more at some stage, that would be appreciated, thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions and advice- at least if I can't get the LCD working I know I can at least ride the thing!

Hi Everyone It's been a long time since I've been on here, which unfortunately also mirrors how long it's since I've used my bike! 😞 Anyway, wheeled my bike out of the shed to take it out for a quick ride to blow the cobwebs out. It had sat for a looong time hooked up to a battery charger / tender. Started fine, run fine, warmed up, then I looked and noticed the LCD display was totally blank. Doh! I checked (and swapped out) the display fuse, which was fine. Checked there was power to the fuse - yep. Uttered some more swear words, spat my dummy and wheeled it back into the shed. That was several weeks ago. Finally got some time this weekend to investigate further. Got the fairings off, took the dash off. Unplugged it, wiggled wires, looked it over, and guess what? No difference (no surprise really!) Nothing seems obviously wrong / burnt corroded. I'm guessing others would have come across this issue or know about it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried searching the forum but have not come across anything. Is it ok to still ride my bike, or is it a symptom of a greater issue? Thanks!

Nose looks like a CBR600RR to me??

Thanks Mello, finally found that thread 'over there ' & am getting through it. Hey, vfrcapn, what do you mean 'old'? It's only a couple of, no,wait... a few... oh crap... 6 years ago! 8-O Where has that time gone???

Yes, pretty much just like that one! I don't know how I missed that one, must have had a 'man scan' as my wife would say... Thank you!

Interesting video nik68, thanks. I know the 6th rear will add weight, but I'm afraid to say this one is about looks (I like under tail exhausts), not outright performance (it's fast enough for me) 🙂

I'm sure I've read about it on here, but my search continues!

Hi everyone Planning on fitting a the gen tail section to a 5th gen bike. I know others have done it but can't seem to find any threads on it. Can someone please point me in the right direction of where to look? Thanks!

But when I get an idea in my head I want to do something about it NOW! ... and then have the parts sit in my shed for 6-12 months until I get a chance to do anything and then another 6-12 months until I finish it! ;-)

Sigh... that's one problem with living so far away from anywhere - the cheapest set I found (4 plugs + harness) was at least $100 more than that. And that is from the UK. One 'local' (other side of the country) ebay seller is asking for $220 for the same thing!

Do the later 6th gen, 8th gen, or even 7th gen have COP setups that would fit the 5th gen engine?

On a side note, what rear hugger is that?

Looks awesome, great job, you should be proud of a job well done
