Got the bike very dirty, 7hrs round trip down to somerset, 4hrs of them in the rain. Oh well, time to get the sponge and bucket out.... First time in extended the rain for the pinlock system on my visor. Was ok for the first couple of hours but then some water got between it and the visor causing problems. Never had that with many years and lots of rain with the fog city stick on inserts. I shall have to do some investigations to see how/if I mucked up the fitting and can I fix it so it does not to happen again. Not that I want to go out and test it again....
Fitted this to try it Ran a few tests using my multi meter on the battery and it’s very accurate Will only put it on when needed to charge things It has two ports for phone/sat nav etc
Feckin hell how much bodywork is on this TWAT Gonna take the tank off and check the air filter and plugs Ooooh I wonder what’s in that box
This is the main reason For taking the tank off Whoever put these heated grips on just bunched all the wiring up and wrapped it up with insulation tape and zip tied them on the frame below the headlight unit Full of Feckin water Luckily they still work FFS if you’re gonna do these jobs do them properly Gonna take a look at the air filter and then maybe call it a day as my Feckin shoulders are killing me
I’m not finished stripping it down yet Want to get at all the connections under the battery as that’s where the main fuse is gonna pull all the connectors apart and give them a spray with electrical grease and see if I can put the main fuse above the the battery tray higher up somewhere for easier access Then I have some bits and bobs to fit and put it all back together It’s gonna be fun
I've got one of those heated grips things on my Street Triple. Doesn't work any more. You just remonded me.
I’ve been a bit hesitant to remove my tank because of the fuel line fitting. Don’t have a clue as to how it’s supposed to work
Dilli moving the main fuse to above the battery tray makes it easily accessible and it’ll be in a dryer position and is a worth while mod. Quite a few peeps on the Tiger800 forum have done that mod.
@dilligaf if you go on the tiger800 forum there’s someone doing a 12,000 mile service and he’s been given a few ideas for tools to remove that pesky connector. I did it not so long ago, didn’t realise how fragile they were, god knows how I didn’t snap it!
Dilli I was going to say seeing as you’ve got the air filter off check the cleanliness of the stepper motor shaft,,,,,but it looks like you’ve possibly cleaned it already if you haven’t make sure it’s clean mate.
