    Plenty of these things owe more to ease/sequence of manufacture than ease of maintenance.

    Nice neat job mate, it'll ensure that fuse never blows ;)

    If you hadn't have moved it surely it would have gone the next dark and wet trip.

    That’s what worried me :confused:
    I came across a YouTube video where the main fuse had blown :(
    I thought that’s not happening to me :p

    On the later models the main fuse was repositioned and is now easily accessible :)

    It should never had been positioned there on the generation1 models in the first place.

    Got out the other evening. 70 degrees in November doesn't happen all the time, so have to enjoy it while you can.

    ^ Unlike the lucky above who are getting the last drop of riding weather, you know when your season is over when you crack the 865 top end open for valve clearance check (and fingers crossed no adjustment required I hope).

    Tuned in XS Manchester on my online web radio (thank God the shortwave days are over lol) and also decided to finally rid myself of the SAI system. Picked up some Nissan oil sump plugs 12Mx1.25, and a 11\16" plastic push cap\plug for the airbox at the local home store. All fit dead on, total cost $15 and looks factory. I cannot believe what vendors charge for their "kits" +shipping, absolutely crazy.

    Anyone know if the exhaust "pops and bangs" completely vanish post SAI-delete? I hope not as I like some of that, just less frequently I am guessing.

    No they don't, not if my bike is anything to go by :D, but it does have after market silencers.

    Took swingarm off the Thruxton to get it powdercoated black.
    And fitted new Tec clutch and brake levers. Seem really good quality parts.
