Lol no worries, just interested.
If we don't learn from our mistakes we are destin to repeat them
Re: My first VTR and How I May Have Made a Big Mistake...
I have an actual question for you and the VTR faithful:
I'm guessing that my signal lights arent supposed to be illuminated all the time.... is that correct?

On the UK model they only come on when the lights are switched on. The US bikes I believe are slightly diffrent and you have running lights so I think would be permanently on.

Re: My first VTR and How I May Have Made a Big Mistake...
The front blinkers should have two filament bulbs for the US market. Both dimmer 5W filaments should be on with the headlight as marker lights until you use a blinker, at which point the 5w filament will go out on the blinking side, and the 21W bright filament should flash. When you turn the blinker off, the 5W filament should come back on.
All of this is controlled within the bar switch, and there will be an extra wire to each of the blinkers. So at each blinker a solid colour (orange or light blue depending on the side) for the blinker, solid colour plus white stripe for the marker light and green for earth.
The instrument panel light for the blinker should only come on when using the blinkers.
If you get some other behaviour, first thing I'd suggest is to dismantle the bar switch and clean the contacts and add dielectric grease. If that does not sort things you may have a short in the wires themselves.

I have very little prayer for actually diving into this before my new baby comes....I've also got a 650L that needs a carb rebuild!
I'm swamped

Thank you!
I'll get started sometime - this is what I think is ideal:

The box under the tail light appears to have the rear indis & number plate light attached in some custom made box?

I failed to take pics of it in detail yet but yes it looks like some kind of custom fender eliminator kitStevo Kifaru wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 3:02 pm The box under the tail light appears to have the rear indis & number plate light attached in some custom made box?

Not sure what that is, maybe someone has made the aluminium plate holder as the plastic one broke? The black bit that pokes out though like a plug in hybrid...is it an extra small fuel tank?eatpasta wrote:[url=Stevo Kifaru wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 3:02 pm The box under the tail light appears to have the rear indis & number plate light attached in some custom made box?
