Thanks for that info Robin, I may well change it over at some point soon, especially given yesterday's events at the MOT...
... which was mixed news. Failed on headlight adjustment (easy fix), brake light staying on (needs a spring) and emissions (has always been very close to the line because of the length and number of joins in the pipework, but hopefully we can sort this).
During the test the Sportster did manage to empty the cooling system over the floor of the test station (was never happy standing still!), and then suffered from power loss. Idles fine but struggles big time when you put your foot on the accelerator.
Sounds like a MAF sensor problem to me, which I think it has suffered from before in the dim distant past. Since the air intake is in the passenger footwell (!) I suspect it is susceptible to 'unclean' air over a period of time??
So may be a few more days yet...
