Many thanks sbaret I'll check out the links shortly

Lots of info in the Wiki.

Being 74 myself, I believe the proper term is "2nd childhood," not "later years." My "later years" were those when I was almost retired and keeping my fingers crossed that I would live that long.

Good morning Richwa
Second childhood is definitely correct haha
Nice to see there's other members in there later years still riding
Have a nice day Regards Rod

Second childhood? Is when you begin to fill the garage with 2/3 wheeled vehicles and the wife looks confused and bemused and think I've totally lost it. All at the second childhood age of 70 plus. Kids and grandkids think it great.

Hi Peter
I've just bought my MP3 300 LT ie Touring from Youles Manchester
And just like you I'm trying to get my head around how it operates
Work shop manuals seem to be like rocking horse s..t I can't seem to find one if you have any luck keep me posted
Regards Rod

See post #4

Hi Sbaret
I had a look at the links you sent Thank you very much
Unfortunately there not a complete workshop manual I'm hoping to find a manual that is a complete repair manual
Regards Rod

Sorry I keep spelling your name wrong

Use the workshop manual from the Yourban 300 for the engine and the workshop manual from the MP3 400/500 of a similar vintage for everything else

Good morning Sbaret
Many thanks I have now found the manuals on the links you sent me
Have you any idea where I could get a test meter/programe for resetting the tilt lock etc should I ever need it
Looks like it's all down to electronics on these bikes ???
Regards Rod

I don't have the factory diagnostic equipment since it is only available to dealers on a subscription basis.

What I do have is a good multimeter ( made by Fluke), my eagle eyes and ears, and my habit of overmaintaining this bike to minimize/eliminate the Italian curse (electrical issues and breakdowns)

So far, after 10 years, no surprises, although I did have to do a complete stripdown when the MP3 was new due to shoddy factory build/assembly quality
