It's about time they moved on from that kind of bullshit.

People's views are changing and if they don't adapt, they'll simply be shooting themselves in the foot long term.

Perhaps one of these?

On the way to my brother's (he got tools, I don't) the bike started playing up as per description after two minutes. I have now replaced the ignition coils (I'll take pictures of the old ones later). I've been on a 10 minute ride without any problems. I'll go out just now to see if anything happens....

Stockpile in a London flat? Liking the sound of that! :lol: MacV2 - not to re-write, this is a description of the problem I had: https://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=41386&p=450972#p450972 Sometimes it ran like a charm, and other times the described problem occured. The reason ...

"Thank you! and that's some intense website. Didn't realize that there were people making new parts upon order." If a new part isn't here in the UK - there's a big Honda warehouse in Netherlands - if its not there then it has to come from Japan. Also bikes older than 15 years aren't suppo...

Huh, being the same part, just a different batch no. would explain the inconsistency.

Thank you! and that's some intense website. Didn't realize that there were people making new parts upon order.

I bought a pair of used ignition coils many months ago and now I've come to think which is the front or rear one. Both contain a four digit code that is different, as well as a different mounting rack. I thought I'd go on eBay to check listings for other ignition coils and compare the type of mount/...

That makes no sense. You connected the ring terminals direct to the battery? When you turned the ignition off, did it start charging again? If not, fuse has popped. Yes. It charges the phone when the ignition is OFF. If I turn ignition on, it stops charging. When I turn ignition off it starts charg...

what... the 9 year old child in you ? ;)

Spotted this jokes on my walk to work

Maybe it was done sarcastically?

Question no.2

I got the missing piece and connected the coloured leads accordingly. It was charging the phone when the ignition was off. When I turned the ignition on, it would stop charging.

I would of course want the charger to work when the bike is on. Any ideas?

Not really as it would take a long time using your mobile phone attached to the bike's battery to significantly drain it. Heated grips use a lot more electrictrickery hence why a switched relay is best used so it can't accidentally drain if left switched on. Perfect. I will get what you said. :thum...

Thaaaanks. No need for those dots at the end ;)

You know how the heated grips are usually wired to ignition so that they are never left on to drain the battery.

Would the phone charger pose such threat?

Hello, I got this charger a while back (pics below). When I had the bike at mechanics to change the brake discs I also asked him to connect it up but he said there was some bit missing to be able to do so. What's the missing bit? (I can see on the box now that there's something meant to be between t...

'one day a week'... there are still another 4 left to write anything up if required. I'm sure it's manageable
