Hi guys,
I had the bonnet of the MC open the other day for a bit longer than I liked....as the bugger wouldn’t latch down when I tried to close it! It appears that the catches on the front slam panel aren’t returning as they should, with the passenger side being worse than the other.
I greased them a little and then worked them with a screwdriver and they have quite a spring to them, but as soon as the bonnet comes down and the sprung ‘pins’ on the bonnet engage, they don’t hold it.....well they do on the first close as I’ve manually sprung them out, but when I open and try and close it again, they don’t catch.
Is there a fix or is it a case of buying new? Appear to be an easy change with only 3 bolts/screws holding each one in place.
Cheers
Ian
