A hair-dryer on low heat softens the adhesive enough for them to be peeled off without leaving a residue of glue.

Ha!
I might have somewhat more hair than yourself, but the hairdryer was purchased specifically for sticker removal.

I just pulled my decals straight off! Not a problem.
Just complete oil change, clutch adjustment and replaced rear brake lever. Totally different bike with the clutch adjusted!
Only problem I just realized I put the little filter at the oil plug in the wrong way around, looks like I'll have to drain it again!

The gearbox on my bike was quite my was quite 'notchy' until I got a few kilometers covered, but has improved considerably.
Something that may help in finding neutral is the following:
Come to a halt in first, holding the clutch in.
Change up to second, then give the gear lever gentle downward pressure.
Hold front brake while slowly releasing clutch.
I found the neutral indicator light to be unreliable so I have disconnected it. I don't like being lied to by machinery!

If your Ace wont fire then before spending 30-45 minutes trying to figure out what you broke whilst fiddling about check the kill switch :-[
(in my defence my other bikes won't even turn over unless the kill switch is in the RUN position :

Alan - the bare aluminium is maintained by cleaning with a Scotchbrite pad and WD40. It's quick to do, doesn't need re-doing very often, and leaves a brushed satin finish.
The starter gear housing was cut off with a Dremel and the remaining gap filled with Devcon F. I can post photos later if you wish.

Muffler prep
Ok so I've barely had the damn thing a week, but I'd really like to look at the muffler and removing the cat. Is it feasable to simply grind off the muffler after th 10cm-ish ppart where the cat is, bash the cat out and then attach a shiny new muffler without welding etc? Or is there more to it?
