    don't rush it now, that's how mishtakes occur don't forget the
  2. TomSelleckWaterfallsandwich is an icon of our time, a metaphore to live by and, in this time of civil unrest and global warming, a flickering flame of all that is good. Why you could not see its simplistic beauty in the execution of the water and sandwich is incomprehensable. With Tom Selleck, this just adds the "missing ingredient" in any aquafer setting of Bakery food stuffs. ......Ok, it was sent to me as a link
  3. Jim the T'internet Stalker.......
  4. looks like a capacitor, its a bit like a battery that it holds a small charge. Maybe its to either kickstart a relay or smoothout spikes from generator. It won't matter which way its wired, AFAIK ther's no poliarity on these!
  5. to the YOC maxxim
  6. sorry mate no idea! may need to reset something. I like my bikes simplz, so i can easily diagnose. I think your second post pissed a few peeps off as, belive it or not, we work during the day so expecting an answer within a few hours of posting is a bit much! best to wait or have a bit of banter with the posters!

    got it off the aircooled web site. you need V888 form scrol down, download and print send off your fiver. you need a reason why you want the info I put that I restored the bike and wanted its history to complete the records for the bike! takes a few months to get back as someone has to photocopy the logbooks

    sent off a fiver before xmas to the DVLA for some history on me xs400. In comes a big bundle today (all 13 previous owners) names and addresses. the bike was sold by Wylie and Holland in Market Drayton, Salop. They are still trading, so I wrote to them tonight and I'll see what they say! the bike then worked its way round Wales and Anglsey before ending up in Altrincham and then me (In bits) There is a mistake in the chassis/frame number from the outset as they have put an extra 0! nice to see and I may write to the previuos owners to see if they have any pikkies of the bike (it was Black at one time) drewps

    yep, its just diodes which only let electricity flow in one direction. set multimeter to dc 12v and connect each wire if the juice flows both ways ie + and - switched , the diodes are gone. there are probably more tests but i don't know any more.
