    Joe replied to the above with this, which should give you a bit more info.......

    Hi Mark as CFM stated above, which says it all really. One thing that I believe is important is to make sure your battery is in tip-top condition and kept fully charged, (Optimate or similar) that reduces the chance of the starter kicking back. But quite honesty, no disrespect here but there are hundreds if not thousands of 760cc & 865cc owners like yourself who have never heard of Safe Start, or the fact of what can happen if the starter kicks back and because they are obviously oblivious to it they do thousands & thousands of miles without any problems. But once you know about it like in my case It's always in the back of your mind.!!! upload_2026-3-3_16-0-42.gif :eek:

    All reassembled with new oil & filter, ready to go for April by which time it should have warmed up and stopped raining by then..... : unamused:

    I also have a TTP Safe-Start fitted to my 2005 Speedmaster. Gives me peace of mind and it's not too expensive.

    Hi Scoot65
    Yes it certainly does that, and the alternative is not worth thinking about should the disaster occur......:scream:
