Thanks Tim for working out what was wrong with my bike, being a thoroughly nice guy and doing it for an obscene hourly rate.
Thanks Big D for the reg/rec and the trip to Morrisons to pay for it, and for the helpful chat about bikes.
Bit of a shame Electrex World. I did not expect a brand new stator to completely and utterly toast itself within less than 500 miles. To be fair, you now have the opportunity to redeem yourself by giving me my money back no quibble, but I’m going to struggle to recommend you in a hurry, whatever happens now. Shame.
