I used HEL brake lines on my other bike and thought they were tops, installed them myself. I like to tinker but feel that the Speed Triple is the Holy Grail for me at the moment. Don't want to muck about too much. Give me a few months and it will be oily hands and dirty clothes. I find that with my bikes I trust myself with the work I do. Very careful and methodical. Especially after some so called bike mechanics wouldn't listen to my description of problems and started to replace items that weren't broken.

As for coming off the line, I think it's more to do with me than the bike. Knowing how far the clutch comes out before engaging etc. As for alternator rattle, I don't think so, but I will have a good listen next time. A bike that is ridden regularly responds better than a machine locked up in storage.
