400/4 build. Paused due to other commitments. But starting up again
ComfySofa:
I could only think thats down to the age of the bike....my Hypermotard you see in the pic has a lithium battery and all the lights are LED...ive not had one fail....and theres horror stories of the Reg/rec's failing and litium batteries failing and ive seen none of it...same for the rsv4 and my z1000....all have been fine. Going back to the 400 - i mean its a really old bike from a tech point of view...!
Trigger:
Steve should set up another section for non standard bike's. Member wouldn't get so confused ;)
ComfySofa:
From an electrical point of view maybe.... as mine is completely different under the hood (which is what i wanted) - that being said the signature finishing touch for me will be a set of Nitron rear shocks (fully adjustable) when i pay my credit card off! totally not needed as its rolling pig iron but more of an aesthetic finishing touch!
Maybe convert yours to motogadget - i am a convert - once id got the hang of it, its wasnt too hard plus its removed (i would say) about 70% of the old wiring and making it more reliable in the process...

Yes, i am aware of that Roo. But, other member do not. On my build i was advised by a member to put all LED's in and he reckoned they were the best thing since sliced bread. He knows who he is and forgot to mention that he had a M-unit and had upgraded every electrical component :o

I’ve only ever heard of issues trying to plumb in LED’s into old wiring, I was advised never to do it. If you’re going full LED’s it’s basically a rewire job. To save the grief.
Thankfully the lights on the Viffer are awesome so wouldn’t want to change them in the slightest. Wouldn’t want to go into that lot what with 3 computers, ABS management etc. the harness is a monster on this, I shall never grumble about having lack of access ever again on the CB’s, the Viffer is an utter pig to work on.

I've found just shaking the bike from side to side usually fixes it.
