    As a matter of interest, when you filled it up with the jerry can, did it fire up straight away?

    my trip computer thing is a*seing about and cuts out now and again when i start the bike - losing the time and also the countdown and mileage!

    . . . . . which is why i ran out of petrol last night on a very busy M56!!!!

    sh@ myself then flipped into reserve, fired her up and roared on!

    my own fault for not checking!

    need to find out why the trip computer is cutting out, any ideas??

    Check this out on eBay.

    Saw it a while ago, but I don't have a Tripmaster so just glanced at it.
