Hi guys,
I think I read that the headlight should go out whilst the starter is pressed.
Is this right ?
Its a 99/2000 police 1100 if that makes any diff.
P.S. Call me Dave.

The police version doesn't as far as I'm aware - have a look at the wiring here http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=8503.msg98043#msg98043 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=8503.msg98043#msg98043)

Thanks Alan,
Is it hard to put in a delay on the headlight ?
And which battery trickle charge would you recommend ?

I don't use anything other than the key to start the bike to keep the battery ok but then my bike is used most days unless like now it's out of rego.

Ppopeye is it the 0.8mah, that's the one I'm looking at.
And yes Alan it will be my daily commute but I still like to have that peace of mind.
Thank you both.
:thumbsup
Brock isn't yours ex pol ? Oh but your euro aren't you ?

:think1
Garry, just wondered if you had a stutter.
I always thought it was cruel for someone to say they had a speach impediment. You think they could have come up with an easier word. :beer
-
My bike is Ex cop, WA police.
Euro??
-
Aren't you overseas?
Your map shows Philippines, yes I know that ain't euro, but not here.
-
Brock isn't yours ex pol ? Oh but your euro aren't you ?
He's got a bit of Thai about him... But most of him is true blue. :grin
-
Thanks Biggles,
Wouldn't most of us like to have a bit of Thai now and then ?
The food that is, what were you thinking ?
-
Aren't you overseas?
I wish, for ten months I'm in the Perth area, the other two in Thailand. I dont have an ST over there (would love to get one but)
The foreign correspondent tag was some one being funny, while i was away on holiday. I just havent changed it. Also my pin on the Member Map is at my house in Thailand.
P.S. I just had Thai chicken wings with sticky rice for dinner, Oh and the wife is Thai as well.
-
Ok Brock, I guess your still one of ours.
Just wondering Biggles ? Is this still what you ride in ? Or am I showing my age now.
-
Hey Brock,
It's like my map tag, Tinonee general store and Bottle shop.
Although I still believe in 8hrs from bottle to throttle.
-
Yes the 0.8 is the one I have
Sent from my iPad

Ppopye,
Which plug do you use and could you send a pic of how you have it mounted and were.
I'm thinking the left glovebox with the old cigarette socket and usb for the GoPro.
I believe you can buy them as one unit.
Maybe Brock could answer this, the rear of the left glovebox has had major repairs, has this anything to do with ex pol ?
Anyway it's were I'm intending to put the charge socket.
-
This is more like it

I'm just going to call you Garry from now on cause it's to hard to override auto correct on your stutter name. >:()
-
What do you mean Brock ?
Half naked and hanging for dear life.
Oh you mean the one saving him.
-
:well
Is it common not to be able to start up after about 4 days or is this a reflection of the battery ?
-
Thats more than likely the problem. Remember, the clock is always running. It doesnt use much but it doesnt take much to flatten a dodgy battery.
The damage in you glovebox may have been done by a previous owner, mine had no damage except for a couple of small holes for the plug used to power the hand held radar.
-
there are usually the immobilisation switch and switches for other stuff on the pocket fairing if that is what you are referring to.
-
Thank Brock.
Sounds like it Yorkie, cause it is a major repair.
To both of you,
Thanks.
Check my latest post.sure you'll find it.
-
On my bike in front of the glove box, was a socket for the radio / helmet lead, and a switch for the immobiliser.
The immobiliser actually allowed the engine to run while parked so that the lights and radio could run with out flattening the battery ( it would take about tem minutes). If some one jumped on the bike and tried to ride away, the engine would die as soon as the bike goes into gear.

Brock I just had the battery load tested by a battery tech and he found it all good.
Might be his miss judgment cause the previous owner said it needs a " good run ".
And I think we all know what that means.
-
Haven't found that yet Brock but I'll keep an eye out, thanks.
-
:H
Ok I'm calling it a night.
Thanks for all your help guys.
Something I'll get on to latter, if it's legal to paint a helmet in nsw.
A topic for another day.
Night all.
Stay safe.

A battery may pass a load test after being charged. You can do this your self at home. Charge the battery over night ( or for 24 hrs on your charger). let the battery sit for an hour or two, then try start the bike while measuring the voltage at the battery with a multimeter. Voltage should be above 10 volts.

Thats more than likely the problem. Remember, the clock is always running. It doesnt use much but it doesnt take much to flatten a dodgy battery.
Some rather low temps this time of the year will make an impact on a battery that's seen better days.
I let mine sit for 10 days from the 5th of July and it started up without an issue. Except for one plug that didn't fire; with rain, some foggy mornings and temps down to 1C overnight I put it down to a little moisture. It's ok now so no drama.
-
Painting a helmet is not a good idea, as the paint (or the thinners in the paint) may attack the helmet surface

If you are going ctek consider:-
