    Yes I agree with what others are saying. The solar panel on my RV is a 5W from Harbor Freight. I do not use the camper a lot. So the solar panel can take several months to recharge the battery and then maintains it ready to go at a moments notice and is just enough to keep the battery from freezing in the winter. The solar panel will maintain the battery in your bike, it will not charge it in a reasonable amount of time like a day. On the data plate for the cpap does it list either watts or amps for the power input. The other thing to remember with solar panels is that the output ratings are under ideal conditions. Like high noon, in a desert, at the equator, with the panel aimed exactly at the sun. In most cases you will never actually get the full rated output of the panel. I keep my jump pack plugged into my truck so that it is always charging whenever I am driving but then a relay (Yes I have added relays all over my truck too:whistling:) isolates it from everything so that a light left on does not drain the jump pack also, yet the pack is always full charged and ready to be used.

    That depends on what the capacity of the battery pack in the cpap is and how far it is drained each night? Need more info to give an answer.

    That happens with those old rusty pornographs. They miss the straight up digit......

    A couple of things. The friction disks are 3mm thick new, that is .118 inches thick, the minimum tolerance in my service manual is 2.8mm or .110 thick. The 8Nm is 70 in-lb or 5.8 ft-lbs for those of us that have a torque wrench that goes that low in ft-lbs. As said, that ain't much and really bad things happen if to tight.

    Gee Annie Here I thought maybe you were going to pack yourself in a box and ship it over......

    You can get that same unit from Harbor Freight here in the USA. http://www.harborfreight.com/15-watt-solar-battery-charger-68692.html I have had one on my RV to keep the battery up for the last 4 years, The only time I disconnect it is while towing because it is just laying flat on the roof with the wire run in thru the corner of the door.

    It was not the lights that ruined 2 batteries in a year. There is some other issue going on.

    When I bought my bike the dealer did not allow test rides at all. What they did do was give a written full money back guarantee for 2 hours after purchase and delivery. When I questioned them about this they said is is because there were too many people taking out a bike that they could not handle and wrecking, or just wanting to borrow a bike to go for a ride on a nice day. As long as the refund is in writing, it sounds reasonable to me. $250 might be the deductible on their insurance.

    Check for power at the bulb socket and also check the grounds. The same flasher controls all of the lights so if some are out and some are working, it is either a bad bulb or bad wiring.

    LP flames are to hard to see, especially in sunlight. Gasoline or diesel fuel make a nice bright orange flame. You already have gasoline on board.

    I'll be going thru Chicago at around 5-6am on Friday morning. But I'll never make Iron Butt, I'm, still working my way UP to marshmallow butt.

    Plugged gas tank vent? Small critters have been known to make a home in the ends of the various vent tubes.

    While all of this math is true. The LEDs that come setup for automotive or MC use will light just fine (but less bright) all the way down to about 5V. The 12V LED strips that I use for night flying radio control helies are on a 8.4V battery pack because an 11.1V battery is to bright to look at against a dark night sky. All this meaning, It is not a low voltage issue, you have some bad wiring somewhere. I'll pack my electrical box for MD. I'm sure that if we get enough of us engineer types working on it, we can screw it up thoroughly.

    I wonder how that bike handles with the front tire not centered on the axle. So......... That's what I look like all the time............ I just wear my shirt on the outside of the tires..........
  18. Flyinfool
    The mirror would not cause that. MC mirrors are convex, that means that light hitting them will be spread out not concentrated to cause a burn. It may have been some piece of chrome or even the back of the windshield. or possibly something on the building. I would go back to the same spot today and try to find the cause, so you can prevent it from happening again.

    Sounds like a good sluthin project for MD. There should be plenty of well lubed minds to put on it........... I'll have my BFH there.....

    Doh....I forgot that MKIs have the 6 coil spring setup.

    Its only the 2nd gen riders that are notorious for loose connections. Some even have loose battery connections. Most likely caused by not being fast enough to blow the dirt and water off.
  22. Flyinfool
    Looks like all 2nd gens on the backside and on the front sid the 1st gen is farthest forward.......Figures........ You all be safe and have fun. (Or is that a contradiction)

    Welcome to the asylum. We have rules here. If there aint no pics it aint real.

    If this is the first time it slipped you should be good with just the spring. If you have an amazing number of miles on it then it could be time for a clutch, but not likely. when you get it apart check the thickness of the new and old spring. If they are the same then you may want to put them both back in to get more spring pressure. I am not familiar with the EBC spring. PCW and Skydoc are the only ones that I am aware of that have a heavier spring. Did you recently do an oil change with a different oil than you had?

    Sure sounds like a loose or bad connection. Follow all of the wires looking for some rubbed insulation or a bad connection. Don't forget about the ground side. Do a lot of wiggling and shaking of the wire harness, it is possible to have a break in a wire inside of the insulation with no visible damage to the outside of the wire. Been there chased that one for days.
