Re: fan test

Am starting to think my fan's got a problem- Don't think it's come on recently despite the (non digital) temp gauge getting a touch past 6 O'clock in stop start traffic on a warm day. I ended up switching off every time I stopped just in case. Also, at Grainstorm I found the coolant reservoir was em...

Re: Number plate light not working (LED tail unit)- Any advi

Is it one of the clear lens ones? I've found that the boards sometimes become detached and rattle around inside the lens. It's not repairable, and the loose bits will soon bash off the led's on the main board, so buy a spare. I have one for sale if you want- I probably have a couple more in the sto...

Re: Number plate light not working (LED tail unit)- Any advi

Hi all, My number plate light became intermittent a month or so back, and would come on with a tap, now it's just not working. The tail light unit is LED, could be cheap Chinese, I don't know. I have the original unit but do like the clear LED look on my bike. Not sure if this is likely to be a fix...

Re: Number plate light not working (LED tail unit)- Any advi

Prob a failed conention. Scrap it & replace if your desperate for a numberplate light... Don't worry about it if your not...I wouldnt worry about it myself. Thanks Mac! I'd been assuming it's an MOT requirement but maybe not. The highway code says all side & number plate lights must be lit ...

Re: Where to mount a camera?

I tried this, but at high speed the mirror wobbles to much. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n629/bigspanishmarty/11954765_10153213790652675_6798926617376904653_n.jpg I also tried it lower down on the fairing, it stuck really well, but was awkward to turn on and off. http://i1143.photobucket.com...

Where to mount a camera?

As I mentioned, I've got a new action camera and wanted to try it out riding the storm, but can't work out how best to mount it. It came with fixings for a cycle helmet, handlebar and sticky pad, but there's nowhere obvious to put it and am tending towards mounting it on the (flip top) helmet, but c...
