Unlike Dave, I like the K5 shape

I had one in 1977.



Those Dunstall Decibel silencers weren’t.

Can’t read it on a phone Ash. I’ll bet 50% of his visitors are on a mobile.

Wow - without wishing to hijack the thread, that's like a pre-internet website! Takes me back to the 1990's...
Oxymoron Alert

Pre-internet website

Sites in the 90s were all fixed-width with content boxes hard coded in HTML to a fixed number of pixels. That was ok until bigger/wider screens came along and then laptops with different aspect ratios. 

Auto-sizing (known as “responsive”) design took over in the 00s.

Then there were smartphones.

Considering how hard it was to test a page design against all possible screen sizes and resolutions (let alone all the different browsers that were around), it’s amazing that anything ever went live.

Nowadays it’s all done for us in the background and browsers all conform to a basic set of standards.

Here endeth the tech lesson.

Back to the subject…

Whoever designed that to default to “off” is clearly not a great PM user.

Probably a system admin

Cynical me says that this is just “marketing”.

OK for MotoGP and therefore a “must have” for any self-respecting modern biker.

My Tiger 660 doesn’t have one. Should I be upset?

Never even seen a verification question.

Is it a new thing?
It happens when you are new here Ken.

You probably don’t remember.

Very few people on here remember the verification question

I think it’s the first five posts. (See - I can’t remember either!)

Stops bots.

We’re not that sort of club Mick.

We can advise on the best way to get a dating certificate though.

Hub electric motors would seem to be made for this.

Fiat Strada advert from 1979(?) as parodied by Not the Nine O’Clock News.

As regards current use I thought that is down to the Dyna Electronics not the coils themselves.

The issue is with the primary impedance Ted.

The standard coils are about 5 ohms, which at 12V is 2.4A or 29W when the points are closed.

3 ohm coils will draw 4A (48W) which could easily overload your alternator if you have lights on etc.

I’m writing this from memory so any errors will sin be reported by the (other) electronic engineers on here.

Quite a salutary tale.

I guess the only way we can help on this forum is to ask “how can we help?”
