[FZR400 Red Light On Tacho]

Oh dear! Well can't be helped. Better luck next time!

I found out that is was the 80kph (50mph) speed indicator light which had a dodgy connection! As this was an import the speedo was in kph so I have now changed it for a FZR600 one and disconnected the speed sensor.

[FZR400 Red Light On Tacho]

Hi All,

This is my first post after rading most of the posts in the forum.

My question is, what is the red light on the tacho for? I have just bought a tatty FRZ400 3EN1 and the red light on the tacho has come on a couple of times but I have no idea what it means.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated

[XVS 125 de-restrict]

Hay all

I own a xvs 125 Dragstar 2004 and will be doing my test next month.

I dont really wish to change the bike as its mainly used for back and forth to work but im wondering

if it is restricted and it there an easy way to derestrict????

will an exhaust change do the trick or is there any washers in place that can be removed??

im not sure about the legal requirements for this but im assuming its okay once I have passed my test

any help would be great people

Cheers

My son has the earlier XV125 and I have had a good look round and it seems that this engine is built to be "gutless". As the baffles are not removable I have drilled 8x8mm holes around the plate in the back end of the exhaust. It didn't make much difference but at least it now sounds like a V twin.

There does not seem to be any restrictor in the carb but there is what looks like a restrictor in the air filter which when removed caused the bike to die when the throttle was opened due to too lean a mixture. As I didn't have any larger jets to try I don't know what size would be needed to run without this but it may be a good place to start. Raising the needle one notch may also help.

A change of gearing is another easy change to make. If you increase the rear sprocket by 2-3 teeth the acceleration will be better but the top end will suffer and conversly dropping a couple of teeth will increase top end whilst decreasing acceleration.

If you do manage to get more power out of this lovely little bike please let me know. I will be trying it myself soon as my son has passed his test and is nagging for more power.
