Dear all This is my first posting despite having been a member since March. I passed my test in March and an hour later was the proud owner of an 03 maroon (or...
Sounds to me like the battery is down - not flat, but just not enough kick in it to start. Do you have access to an Optimate or one of these booster packs? ...
Simon, If I don't use my machine for a few weeks, I also have the same problem. Once I connet the booster to the battery, it starts first time. If you have a...
Simon, As with Mac I`ve also suffered similar so try his suggestion first Otherwise if you still cannot fix it then I`d happily ride your way on the way home...
Definitely sounds like a battery problem. Not unusual for bike batteries to go a bit flat after standing still for a few days - they aren't as powerful as a...
I have had my original bike battery connected to an Optimate charger for 6.5 years. (Bike new in June 2000) The optimate hangs on the garage wall and plugs...

I borrowed a Datatool charger from a friend and sucess. Two and half hours on charge and stared first time. Note to self - buy a battery charger! Thanks to...
Andy, I like the bridgestones but don`t have an 020 on the front. I run around on an 52 plate dv and run with an 020 on the rear and a BT011E on the front...
Thanks for the replies. I think I'll stick with Bridgestone's too (probably try the new bt-54's though) There is a guy at my work who runs his deauville on...

Here in Oz a lot have switched to DUNLOP SPORTMAX 205's for the DV which
gives plenty of grip in wet or dry conditions and return around 11,000 K's
from the...
Andy, If you do try the 54`s I`d be interested to know your thoughts on them. Also re: the Dunlops 205, anyone else got an opinion? Regards Russ ... ...

I know that this is not strictly DV related, but I think that some feedback on satnavs would be very useful considering the minefield of gobbledegook that is...
... Kenp I've got a Garmin Quest2 which is pretty good. It's only sent me up a dirt track once - and that was in the middle of France after I'd missed about...
We have got the TomTom Rider fitted to our Dv. Got it hard wired in with the bracket on the left side of the bars. No probs with it so far other than the...
Right thats it, now the freezing fog has started and ALL the electrical stuff has been turned on together I found myself having to bumpstart the bike this...
Russ, Regarding the Autocom, a few months ago, I went off on holiday. I left the Autocom connected thinking it was only live when the headset was plugged in....
I thought it was normal to power Autocom's from the rear light in which case once the key is in the off position there should be no current being drawn from...
I should clarify, The autocom is powered via the rear light. I tend to run with a radio connected and plug in as a matter of course which will mean the autocom...
... OK, I'm not normal then! On the NT650, I took the Autocom feed from the accessory connector under then left hand fairing panel, but on the NT700, for...
Anyone had problems with the seat not unlocking............ the key turns but the catch is obviously not releasing from the seat and nothing will shift it!...
Hi Geoff I suspect that the second part of your email explains the first. I made the mistake of not double checking clearances when I ran a wire along the...
Stupid I know, but does the '01/'02 Deauville have 1 or 2 plugs per cylinder. My local dealer only gave me 2 but I have a suspicion that I really need 4 in...
Pete, There are 2 plugs per cylinder, so yes you are right you will need 4 in total. The difference between a DPR7EA and a DPR8EA is the heat range that the...
Thanks John, Since posting I have removed the fairing completely and found the other 2 plugs. Now I wish I hadn't! I got them out ok but don't relish the job...
