Well, I've now found the cause of my sparks out the back of the drivers exhaust a month ago thanks to Eddie ! :D

I'll be replacing the HT leads soon as I still have a miss-fire (although not as bad as it was), although Eddie's cat has definitely helped ! Once my mis-fire is gone, it'll be de-cat time ! :D :ears:

Below is whats left of my cat ! [small](half melted & liberally splattered round the cat & it now rattles as well !)[/small]

I had this happen on my first Cerb, sparks flying out the back and a quick inspection revealed I was riding
a bomb! This is the scary result!



Mine was a result of a dodgy dealer though (non TVR)

I don't know whether to be relieved that the cats aren't in the engine bay (for overheating reasons) or scared that I'm sitting on top of them !

It was a very frightening experience to find red hot pipes inches from my back side!

Same here, working.
My days start at 8am and end around 5am these days as business is booming.
