Re: Mechanic available
Happy to help if I can, chances are it'll be a weekend day, though, if that's ok.
Let me know nearer the time, and we can agree a date.
I have some manual CCT's in stock if that's what you were planning.

Re: Mechanic available
Hi Tony, just bought first Firestorm (1999) just 13,000 on the clock, searching around about the CCT issue, see your original post was some years back so wondering if you are still carrying out this work? live in Bexley so just down the road.
Re: Mechanic available
Yes, no probs, I'll pm you my moby, drop round and we'll sort it.

Hi Tony
Good talking today, see you on 22nd Sept, just remembered I only have a couple of back lights on instrument cluster working so if we get a chance to do those would be good if you have any bulbs. My number is 0787 9406807, if any problems

Re: Mechanic available
Yes; are you using standard bulbs or do you want the LED replacements? If so, white or which colour? (I'd recommend white, tried red and blue and you can't see the clocks properly at night under streetlamps).Ges wrote:Hi Tony

Re: Mechanic available
Damn, just noticed we didn't do the instrument panel bulbs.
Text me your address and I'll post you some std ones- I'm sure I have some left form when I changed mine to LED's.

Re: Mechanic available
Tony, got some LED's and sorted many thanks..May be back soon though with an electrical issue, any pointers though..Battery slowly drains after about 3/4 days when not used until not enough juice to turn over. Replaced battery, but seems same any known problems? Not changed RR yet, and also trying to work out if I can take alarm out of the equation, but auto arms if you don't set, not sure if easy way to isolate that

Re: Mechanic available
Mine does this too, but I think it might be the digital gear indicator/voltmeter I have installed, or maybe the relays for the headlight and main that I've installed. I keep meaning to isolate them and see if it still does it.
We can meter out your battery easily enough, and see what is draining the current, if anything.
Have you anything else non-standard apart form the alarm?
Alarms do drain current gently over the course of a few days- either ride it more often/regularly or leave it an Optimate between rides is probably the easiest solution.
If you don't have power in your garage, then maybe a cover with built-in solar panel or a separate panel on the roof?
This sort of thing....

Re: Mechanic available
Nothing else non standard, have power in the garage so was thinking of getting an Optimiser to make life easier, found post on forum about electrical / rectifier testing..I'll see if I can figure anything out using that, if not I'll give you a shout
Annoying as bike sat in the pouring rain all day at work today and started first time, thanks for the advice

Re: Mechanic available
Yes, no prob, I've PM'd you my mobile number.
But you'll need both sprockets, not just the one...
