Posted: 20:28 - 01 Oct 2005 Post subject: H100s. Hi-beam tell-tale? |
|
|
Just finished sorting out the wiring on my H100 ready for the MOT. It now has crimp-terminals everywhere there was PVC tape and a shiny new AR50 headlamp, which can't be any worse than the standard one and has those handy kawasaki quick-release bulb holders.
It now has a brake light switch on the front and I am less worried about it bursting into flame if I switch the lights on. One question though.
Maybe I'm just being dumb, but I can't find the high beam repeater light. I'm pretty sure it is an MOT requirement and there are connectors for one but where is it supposed to be? I can't see hide nor hair of one on the clocks. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Sorry mate can't really help but if you get really desperate couldn't you just fit a bulb holder somewhere for the MOT? Not even sure its a requirement? Just looked at https://www.ukmot.com/bike/1-2.asp and it doesn't mention telltales. |

It was more that if it isn't supposed to have one, then it is unlikely to be a requirement for the MOT. If it is supposed to have one, it would be nice to put it in the right place for sake of completeness. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

Yeah, it's odd because there is a space for one in the wiring loom. Maybe the usual Japanese 'using the same loom for a lot of bikes making it unecessarily complex' design strategy. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

Theres headlamps you can get with a hole in the top (if you can actually see the shell) and this lights up blue when the main beam is on.. dont know if it would be possible to bodge a similar thing on an existing headlamp???
100% sure the blue mainbeam warning is a mot requirement... (unless you know mot stations that will overlook these things) or maybe a bike that old didn't have one, and as such wont need one... might be worth contacting the dvla?
Only other place i can think might know is the uk classic honda club, never really looked there much but... or even moped army (though its not a moped its worth a try) ____________________ >RidingSkills<->Tech Tips<->MyBikes< |

Aye, well it is a fair point that it would have to be missing a wheel or something to fail its MOT at the place I am taking it. The guy is a small 2-stroke buff, any time you go there he has a pile of fizzies, GP100s and suchlike on the go.
I also spend a shitload of money on tyres with him (I'm in every six weeks for a tyre for something or other) so it would have to be actively dangerous for him to fail something. Plus he knows full well I will go into his carpark and bodge repair anything he fails it on then come back 1/2 hour later, so he usually just say something like "I've passed it, but you need new front wheel bearings." Hands over two new wheel bearings "£7.50 for those.".
Just I'm in amongst the wiring at the minute so now would be the time to fit it if I'm going to. What I'll do I think is put a couple of wires in there for one with nothing on the end of them and tape them to the appropriate bit of the loom. Then I won't have to re-enter the birds nest in the headlamp if it turns out I need one. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.
