To calculate the correct resistor - just need to know what the OEM bulb was.
Do not measure the bulb resistance - it will be wrong anyway as the filament resistance changes greatly with heat. Just need to know the type of bulb - common specs are avail online.
For example - if your OEM bulbs...
Sorry, but you are wrong - good news is, that is indeed the correct operation of the motorcycle. Nothing is wrong with what you described - just ride and enjoy.
It sits perfectly flat - just like the OEM adapter - only this one has 1.5mm pitch threads instead of 1.0mm pitch
These pics ought to explain it.
Removing the old one was a destructive process - as you can see.
Suzuki chose the fine thread - Suzi is 20 x 1.0 - Most others are 20 x 1.5
There is an adapter available - http://balestech.com/filter.htm - which converts most Suzi's to accept the better / more common filters.
I have this installed on one of my Suzi's
I don't know about your 4 VS 14 problem, but what I do know is this. At 14.4 volts, a 5 ohm resistor will be dissipating 41.472 watts of heat. Even at a 50% duty cycle "flashing" it would still be literally at it's MAX if it's only a 20 watt resistor you are using. You are hooking the resistor...
Yes. If the bike is traveling at a fixed known speed(60kph) in a fixed known gear(6th), the actual rpm will be fixed as well, not variable. (assuming your clutch is not slipping). If your tach is showing variable rpms, then your tach and/or the signal it's getting ain't right. Bad gas, big...
That may be true, as it may penetrate te seals and dissolve whatever good lubricant you have behind the seals. WD-40 definitely won't hurt the o-rings though. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=345397
You mean to say that in the same gear, on day 60 kph is 4200rpm and another day, same speed/gear is 6000rpm?If so, I'd say you have either the worlds most non repeatable speedo, or most non repeatable tach. You can confirm or eliminate the speedo by riding with a GPS and confirm that the speedo...
You seem to be sarcastic, I was not being sarcastic. There are only 2 variables to become familiar with to avoid your miss-shifting problem you described "trying to shift to 7th"Speed & RPM are the only 2 variables you need to familiarize yourself with while in 6th gear. Once you know the few...
I thought you were saying you frequently locked the rear wheel in 6th. With more experience, you will be able to tell by the relationship between RPM & speed that you are already in top gear, this will avoid those times when you are searching for 7th.
That's like saying. I don't try to pull a power wheelie on my Ninja 250. I wheelie responsively, all on straight ups.Good luck trying to sell either of those arguements in court.
