Raptor Chapter

Finding a headlight shouldn't be too much of a problem Kriss, but how come it's only been highlighted now? Has nothing been said with previous MOT's ? :?: i dont really know as i only bought the bike about 3 months ago. the guy who did mot i know well so he covered left side of lense with tape so t...

took my bike for mot on monday and passed but guy who tested said headlight is none uk i.e aim is wrong way so is there any way i convert it? also if not what optins do i have will a ducati monster headlight fit?

If you go down to your friendly nut and bolt shop they will have a pitch gauge and will be able to check it for certain. A finer thread(smaller pitch) has less chance of coming undone. many thanks aussiejoe, with the help of a couple of very nice members on this thread have now sorted and hopefully...

from another sales listing "When using with Brembo master cylinders use '10 x 1.00mm Short' option. -03 Copper crush washers are also required when fitting any 10 x 1mm or 10 x 1.25mm banjo bolts (x2 for single bolt, x3 for double bolt)" your so good snap, thanks very much for your help :...

Not sure on pitch thread - I have a brembo rear cylinder and this one was recommended by the workshop who gets the Raptor when I can't fix it. As far as I'm aware the rear brake is the same on both 650 & 1000 - sorry probably not much help, but then I am a mere girl :? I am constantly being nag...

I has a wire break off mine and replaced it with this one; http://www.moto-racing.co.uk/item--HEL-Single-Banjo-Brake-Light-Switch--HEL+Banjo+Single+WQQSSwitch.html OH won the fight and fitted it the other week & MOT passed without problems :mrgreen: wicked stuff, can you remember what size you ...

-/- so would that be 10mm diametre and 1.25 is thread pitch or am i just a thick so and so :thumbsup: :lol: I still dunno :o with a bit of luck someone who's clever will be along soon think i may have found an easier solution and that is fit a normal switch. just plugged one in and works fine. will...

many thanks pod. was told the sv cable was shorter but will give it a whirl

my clutch cable seems to have loads of play but no adjustment either end so reckon the previous owner fitted and aftermarket cable plus levr as a spare clutch lever came with bike. the clutch itself is fine no slipping when you give it a handfull so which clutch cable do i go for as a direct fit vir...

Even the cheapest £5 meter will be a massive help when working with electrons, just as long as it has several Ohms ranges and DC Voltage and AC Voltage ranges. My crappy little meter is in some ways more convenient than a top spec Fluke meter which we use at work, the small body is handy when worki...

pod wrote:55 years agoExcellent news.

thanks again pod, was beginning to think i had the voodoo dolly against me with this bike and am now buying my own multi metre for future use

good news folks is tested today and with engine not running reading was 13volts and when engine started shot up to 14.4 volts so definatly working so happy at last. thanks everyone again who gave help and advice very much apreciated the 14.4 reading was with lights off.

OK, it could be that the new one is getting warm as it is working, the old one is cold as it is doing nothing. Modern electronics mean that the output voltage is better controlled so you do not notice the difference in the brightness of the lights. Have you bolted the regulator to its fixing, some ...
