  1. I'd check the the ignition timming starting with the points gap using dwell if you have one. then strobe the bike drewps
  2. A-OOP david good intro! I like the triples especially the grey ones. electrics are the bugbear of the triples. Lots of the xs and rd range parts bins will cross over, just need to do a visual check. I have xs1100 brakes on mine, sounds good, but they are exactly the same as a 400 just the extra disk fitted and larger bore Master cylinder. SR calipers are the same and live on the left hand side while xs400/250 are on the right ( inc carrier) drewps

  6. to me (i've had a few pints at this point) red, blue and brown are connected when the switch is in the "on" mode in park "P" mode, Red and blue are connected which enables the lights to work independantly of ignition. my igntion switch had a fourth wire to the main beam switch, which i soldered in

  18. erm.. "You have no idea how scary it is to know how many people on here are buying some without knowing how powerful these really are. By the time you blink your eye you're already blind, and just the light going though the skin covering your eye is probably enough to blind you." suppose you could point it at the moon or something
  19. Is this Gadget cool or what! not bad price and I'm sure I'tt get lower this time next year http://www.saverstore.com/product/20048312/Aiptek-MobileCinema-D25-Portable-LED-Projector-with-Integrated-DVD-Player pity the replacmen lamps are more expensive than the whole unit
