cheaperholidays - I meant, I never stalled the engine on the junction, before breaking the clutch switch. It allows quick start even though first gear is on due to clutch being disengaged which the switch indicates. Anyway that sorted, the pin was broke in two places, I glued twice on of the spots and it's been working fine so far. The only bad side is the marks/scratches I left on the clutch holder, but hey, i'm not a mechanic, don't even have proper tools.
How are your electrical issued? You didn't try to contact me, hence I reckon everything's sorted.

AIRWOLF21 - Thank you for the offer and I'll phone you about that soon.

i believe its called a "key" a metal handle with two allen heads. Thought of a way round it today as if we tighten it with a allen key the socket spins, we can pop a bit of wood through the read weel and spin it until it reaches the swingarm to lock it and then we can tighten it. It's supposed to be a bit loose on the front i know but his is very loose!

Bikes don't leak oil',.... they mark their territory :o)           Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight. Growing old is manditory... but growing up...well that my friends...is OPTIONAL!
