Hopefully that'll be all my bad luck used up for the year. Does bad luck work on financial or calendar years???

Whatever is worse- so that would be Financial years in this case, so you can start again in July.

Ref the socket, it's on the RH side, as conventionally viewed from the rider's position.

i.e. south side if the bike is facing east.

Reminds me of the insult, "He's got a face like the Northern end of a Southbound horse"

Oops!!! , IS that the fork hand or the knife hand

We are not that sophisticated here - it's either the food eating hand or the  wiping hand

I had the same problem with my 2003 ST 1300 at 100,000 klms and put in some injector cleaner (which also dissipated water) and changed the fuel filter in the tank.... Problem Solved..
Now at 200,000 klms I have the same problem, just changed the Petrol filter ( which had some water in it) and introduced some more injector cleaner and the jerking missing problem is again solved.

 Only CASH and new parts will solve the engine management light coming on my friend.

Hoipe this helps

Only cash, new parts and time. It's the last commodity I'm really short of. I still haven't had a chance to make a start on it. I need to order the new fuel filter before I begin. I'll do that as a must, regardless of whether it's faulty.

Thanks for the advice.

At 150,000 kays, it's bound to need replacing.  Just annoying that it's so hard to get to, unlike the old inline ones.
EFI isn't wonderful in every way!
You might consider ordering a gasket while you're there- it's a bit of convoluted rubber which can be damaged in the handling.
