Afternoon all,
quick update and a few piccies.....
Back end, all sorted and chain on,wheel sits great and free spins beautifully so all chuffed and the bodge appears to have sorted the twisted problem!
Front caliper from Ian has been dutyfully nannied up and is languishing on the bike ready for some new lines, master cylinder prepped and ready, new levers, horn and a few other bits and bobs but mainly....THE WIRING!
It's been chatted about on other threads and Comfy Sofa (Andy) is ploughing his way through the process at the min but I set about it last weekend and got the main cables in such as the starter sol, battery etc. This week has seen the 'input' and 'output 'wires being sorted and on the first attempt............... all 'lit up' and is as it should be.
I have momentary switches on the bars and have done away with the standard ones as the ones I had, (well, one) was shot to hell so it was decided to go the Motogadget route and get some nice dinky ones.
In total theres 5 switches on the bars
Top right- indicator (push once for on, once for off)
Bottom right -start/stop (push once to start, twice to kill)
Top left (facing away from rider) - lights, flick for flash, hold for sides, press again for low, again for High beam. Tap back the same way to turn off, press and hold.
Top left facing rider - Indicator (once for on, once for off)
Lower left, Horn.
Nice and simple.
I've activated the alarm albeit it's on service mode so I can move things without setting it off, the schematic programme is in the bike and running as it should showing me individual circuits and their draw down via the APP. Keyless isnt activated yet as the Wifi is being a pig at the min, but all in all, a painless excersize with the only issuee being a faulty starter sol which meant I had to wait until yesterday before I could give it a system check with a new one.
Few loose connections but to be expected as all the Ground wires were just clipped together and I dont like to fix anything until its all on then the routing starts. They were sorted with a wiggle and it meant I could check the system out. All appears fine although I cant tell if it's charging yet as I cant start it because the pipes are being 'shinyied up' and I wont see them for a few weeks but aesthetically it's all coming together nicely.
Tank has gone off for a dent to be taken out, rear mudguard is being worked on by a pal (who does that brass thing with a torch that my PC simply wont recognise or spell right so you'll have to guess!) and I'm going to start the tidying up of the wires and get them all wrapped up this week but super chuffed with all the elastictrickery virtually complete.
I had to move the ramp last weekend so dragged her out into the sunshine for the first time and whilst there I realised that that was the first time I'd been more than 2 feet away from it. Looks OK, I reckon. Ken did notice I'd put the footpegs at the rear on backwards
, that'll be me standing too close!!
I spotted a few other bits but done those now and they were only routing of this n that so no drama's there.
Anyway, she's coming on.................
