>Well, I took ownership of my "new" '99 ST on Friday from Perth Motorcycles (Scotland). It has 11,200 miles on it, but they did the 12,000 mile service free before handing it over. Had a first great run to Pitlochry, then yesterday came back up to Aberdeen via the east coast road - brilliant ! I'm getting used to the more 'head-down' posture compared to my Kawasaki ER-5, but the machine overall is fantastic! Was hitting illegal speeds before even noticing it and so will have to be careful. They are still trying to source colour-matched panniers for it. Two questions though...

>1. They fitted Oxford Hot Grips - it has a small control unit with four LEDs (blue, green, amber, red) and  "On +" "Off -" buttons. At first all was well, but now they are just on all the time, whether the LEDs are glowing or not. Theyt did not come with an instruction manual - have I put them into some "always on" mode ? (Shop not open today so can't ask).

>2. I washed my new baby down as soon as I got home. But then opened my fuel cap and noticed residual water resting inside the cover ran into the fuel - I suspect this is not good - but how bad is it?
