    • led indicators

      This is how I got my indicators working with all LED bulbs and the dash bulb running LED also. It has flashing both sides with turn signal working. Firstly, you need to order some 1N4005 600v 1A General Purpose Diodes IN4005 1N4000 DO41 here is the link for them on ebay below. They are 99P for 10 but you only need two for this to work. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131581867356?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
      First you need to remove the rev counter and pull out the bulb holder for the indicator turn signal and see what colour wires arre. On my bike they are green and brown. 0_1489335992410_IMG_2262.JPG I then trace the wire to unplug the wire connector.
      0_1489336588448_IMG_2263.JPG
      Then you need to cut the green and brown wire and strip all ends ready for soldering.
      0_1489336727146_IMG_2264.JPG
      Then tin/solder all wire ends.
      0_1489336453538_IMG_2266.JPG
      Now you need to cut down the legs on the diodes you bought and solder to the green and brown wire at the plug connector end, with the white ring on the diode end free, as they only work one way round
      0_1489336942522_IMG_2267.JPG
      Then you want to twist the two diodes with the white ends together.
      0_1489337083121_IMG_2268.JPG
      Next you need to solder the other end of the green wire you cut earlier that goes to the bulb holder, to the twisted ends of the diodes.
      0_1489337413206_IMG_2269.JPG
      Now you want to heat shrink all ends of the wires so they are not touching together, and are now waterproof.

      0_1489337605909_IMG_2284.JPG
      0_1489337625742_IMG_2285.JPG
      Now you need a piece of wire, I used some black wire, to solder to the brown wire coming from the bulb holder as this is now your new earth.
      0_1489337750837_IMG_2271.JPG
      And you need to heat shrink this to to make it water tight.
      0_1489337903079_IMG_2272.JPG
      I then soldered on the other end of the black wire to the earth lead on the side light.
      0_1489338980116_IMG_2286.JPG
      Now you need to heat shrink this to again, make it water tight.
      0_1489339144805_IMG_2287.JPG
      Now you have completed all the wiring you now need to replace the dash bulb with a LED t10 501 and all indicator bulbs with LED bulbs and also replace the flasher unit, and all indicators will flash with no problems and the turn signal on the dash will work as normal.

      I will update any information on bulbs if I find any better bulbs. I hope to change headlight bulb soon as found a LED h4 bulb that has the same light pattern, as a standard h4 but waiting on this to arrive and test before I say if its any good.

    • RE: brakes

      finally got the brakes done back and front new discs pads and hoses and new fluid seems so much better than they were thats for sure made me relise how bad they were but dont think it helped that the back caliper was sezied on the sliding pin so caliper was not moving strange that the person who had the bike before had done lots of work on the bike before has had new pistons and seals in the brake but forgot to grease the sliding pins just goes to show you can never trust all the paper work for work done if its not been done properly

    • RE: wheelies

      you want it working and not pinned just make sure it flush you can try sitting further back on the seat to as that will help but as i said with it set right you will see the diffrence mine comes up from pull away and im 16 stone and tops out at 85 on the clock so im sure yours should do the same if running and set up right

    • RE: wheelies

      if you pin the power valve you will have no bottom to low end pull just top end pull and need to rev and slip the clutch to pull away where as with the power valve servo and working it will pull at all ranges if you remove the reed switch it will help with top end dont think it makes much diffrence on pull away as the power valve open at 6000 revs

      @Glynn123 said in tubeless rims:

      rim bands

      i thought the rims were not suitable for tubless because the sides are not deep enough to hold the tubless tyre thought there was a diffrence in rims between the two
