General maintenance can easily be done at home with the aid of a reasonable tool kit and a Haynes manual, what bike is it? |

"Streetbike" is very near to you, why not use them. |

I've stripped every bike I've ever owned (about 25) to its last nut and bolt, then completely restored and rebuilt them, not for about 12 years though. Mechanics I can do given the right tools, but the electrical side I leave to someone else  |

Colour coded wiring diagrams look like they've been drawn by a toddler with crayons to me  no use at all. |

"Looking for one myself as the battery on my Triumph Sprint is not charging, went absolutely dead at the Petrol Station, thank god for the RAC seems to think it's the regularator / rectifier 
About £90 for a replacement from mandp.co.uk , small black box with cooling fins, 2 sets of wires coming out (1 set all yellow wires), located right hand side above engine case and bolted to frame, very easy job to replace  "
Fantastic advice , I'm not completely useless but must admit the electrics on a bike get me concerned every time I go near them, now a 2 stroke YPVS much easier |

Check the part number if you're gonna get one, or ring m&p and they'll check for you
I've had a couple of TZR125's and most of a 350ypvs |

He had a mechanic he had been using for years an independent but his become a little unreliable, unsure as to why he hasn't used street bike tbh I just know he was looking for a new one so thought I'd make myself useful and try find one. |

"Yamaha nmax I think it is - I'm a bit clueless lol
I'll have to check with him when his home.
Nmax is a bloody scooter not a motorbike lol
More plastic on it than there is metal "
Plastic is ok as long as it's fast plastic |

"I said motorcycle and like I said I'm a bit clueless myself anyway! "
If it`s actually a motorcycle then you may mean v-max.
If so, i wish i could see his face when he hears you told everyone he has a scooter lol. They are very different machines |

"Slash n cut and hard tail it,then bin all none essentials. Job done.
No. Never, ever do this  "
Whoah, hold ya horses there. Actually, now we know that it's only a scooter, that might be the most sensible suggestion of the thread  |
