Hi Mark, To get a bit technical, firstly, the CRM's system is fine to feed 12v to a gauge, although be aware it rises to about 14.2. Ideally, you'll need a gauge and matched sender to ensure accurate readings. Now you have some ballpark figures for the temp that CRM's run at, have a nose about for a...

kernow any chance of a photo of your alloy bracket ive done the same with a peice of plastic but have thought of doing the same as you so a photo of your design would be canny cheers Hi Brian, Ive got some nice LEDs to fit and the plan is in my head, but thats as far as Ive got! Im going to fit the...

OK..chapter 3... Ive looked closer.. the diodes are involved in the sidestand cut out switch circuit..so..if youve done away with the side stand cut out switch, they wont matter. If the wires down there got shorted..that could explain the fizzing. If the bike still runs OK...theres no problem. The d...

Ok..in all the excitement..Ive looked again..lol Those are diodes, for sure.. the temp and oil LEDs are below.. They are inline for the neutral switch and lamp... diodes are polarity conscious too..so if you connected your battery the wrong way round..theyd pop.. They are simple enough to replace..b...

WOW WOW WOW!!! yes, they are diodes...but they are Light Emitting Diodes...LEDs. Its tru that diodes act like a non return valve, only allowing current to flow one way. A standard diode WILL NOT regulate the voltage. A Zener diode WILL regulate to a preset voltage. CRM's have no zener diodes fitted....

HI..I did reply to 118 via PM....in case you thought I ignored him!
Did you get my reply 118??

Looks like a great day out. Best incentive to get the Mk2 all taxed and MoTd. I hope there's another planned! Make sure its well posted so even I dont miss it!
Well done chaps.
Regards KK

I checked again and Maplins offer 'MR 16 low voltage dichroic lamps'..a range of wattages and beam widths..they even offer coloured lamps..nice if youve got radical plastics..like pink, perhaps..

Looks Ok to me.. Are the bulbs the 'low voltage' halogen types that are rated at 12v used in domestic installs like kitchens etc? My mate had one of the early 'twin' headlight type units from UFO and found that he could fit those halogen units in that housing. Only thing we found was that they do ge...

Have a closer look at the Off Road Only website, as they do a cpl models which incorporate aluminium bars inside the moulded plastic of the handguards. Look at the Pro Rally model. Not cheap, but if you break them, maybe you oughta take up something safer like indoor hang gliding or blindfold bull f...

Hi Chris, Welcome to the forum. Ive used http://www.photobucket.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to allow pics to be posted. You basically open an account with them (free), then put the link into your post on this forum and that directs viewers to your pics. Its fairly straightforw...

Hi Mark, Its been a while since Ive banged the Off Road Only drum, but they do have a very good selection, including their own branded set of wrap around plastic type with vents for £20! Maybe less to you, as youd be ex VAT? That includes the fixing kit for 14mm and 18mm handlebars. Have a nose on t...

Yeah..and I re-wrote my answer 4 times.....

Calm down Mr Impatient... Im guessing you mean gearbox oil, not 2 stroke oil?? theres a level 'plug' on the oil pump/waterpump side of the engine. Just between the bulge for the clutch and the waterpump, its a 6mm bolt, with 10mm head. Take the plug out, and with the bike held upright the oil should...

To quote Red Dwarf..does this mean you are now in 'smug mode'??
