Re: Help with signal minder..

I used stranded wire so I "tinned" it with solder to hold all the strands together. Bullet connector is so named because of its bullet shape. Any type of insulated male/female connector combo for quick disconnect purposes would have worked.

Re: Help with signal minder..

I checked my Clymer manual and the notes I made when installing the LED light. The brakelight is the yellow-gray wire and is connected to terminal 54 of the taillight socket. Removing the female connector from terminal 54 revealed that the male spade connector on the socket is made up of 2 pieces sa...

Re: Help with signal minder..

The wires for the tail light just plug in to the back of the socket and that is where I hooked it. I installed an LED tail light at the same time and it had a box you have to wire in too, so I don't remember what the color code of wire for the brake light was. I will look tonight and get the info fo...

Re: Help with signal minder..

To avoid splicing any wires, I ran to the brake connection on the tail light. Great device, I set mine for 8 sec and the turn signals as half power marker lights.

Re: Any minimum size limit for the MO driver test?

I used an 85cc Kawasaki to take the test in 1968, but it has since changed. FWI, I think you will find that the m/c you use will have to be licensed. I don't think most scooters can be licensed.

Anyone have a long term report on how well the Loctite moly paste works, I bought some about a year ago, but still haven't tried it.

Re: Your opinion needed... Do I have rear brake dragging?

Before doing anything else, try this little trick that someone else posted on here. "Burp" the excess pressure (or vacuum) in the 2 accordion shaped boots on the slider pins on the rear caliper by raising the edge of each boot off the slider pin momentarily. My R1150R did the same thing af...

Re: Creaking noise at shaft

My 2004R did the same thing, sounded like an old set of bed springs creaking. Turned out the pivot bearings were worn out and it is pivoting on the aluminum pins themselves. I was lucky and didn't have to replace the pins, they aren't cheap either.
