  1. 1873/5000 Hello friends, because as I already mentioned I have carried out the experiment and I tell you how it has been ... I have connected the bulb to 12V with a transformer and indeed when I touched it it was quite hot, so for the avoidance of doubt I have done a home test trying to recreate the conditions of the bulb inside the odometer, a small place without breathing and with plastics that can be melt from the heat, so I tell you the experiment ... To make the comparison of light I have connected a 1.7 W bulb (the original) and the one I currently have on the bike (5W), and clearly the 5 W bulb looks brighter and it also heats up a lot more and that was my fear. To recreate an odometer inside I have put the bulb in a glass without breathing and I have also put the bulb in a plastic glove which is the thinnest plastic I have been able to find to see how the heat of the bulb affected it, the bulb at all times it has been in contact with the plastic glove, I have left the light bulb inside the plastic for 20 minutes (enough to see the reaction) and after 20 minutes if the plastic has been slightly deformed but very little, in addition Keep in mind that it was in direct contact with the bulb, when removing the bulb from the plastic it came out without problems and had not stuck with the plastic although it has been deformed a little, but eye is a very very thin plastic and was wrapping all the light bulb, With which the conclusion that I draw is that you can rest easy and these bulbs will not deform our internal plastics, in a trip of 5 or 6 hours I have not tested it, but I have been with the bike for more than two hours in a row and no problem, And now after doing the experiment that I have carried out I am already calm and with the certainty that even if it generates heat nothing will happen. That's it, now I am calm with the 5w lights. I have to test the same light bulb but in blue, to see if the numbers make them more blue and it looks more beautiful, as soon as I try it I upload it and see how it would look ...
  2. Hello colleagues, I am going to do an experiment with the 5W bulbs to see the heat they generate, I am going to recreate the siltuation of the bulbs inside the odometer to leave doubts about the heat they give off and the damage they can cause, I have a couple of weeks with the idea but I have not had time, if it is true that the other day I changed the dome and took out a light bulb to see how everything was inside and the truth that there was no symptom of having suffered any damage from the heat, but since I'm worried I'm going to do the experiment. I don't know in your country, but here in Spain it is mandatory to always keep the light on. By the way XXTitanium, your lights are now very beautiful and shine a lot, that does not bother at night? I have also thought about buying the same bulbs that I have 5w but in blue, to see how the odometer is, so the mile numbers will also look blue, I have to try it. I'll tell you ..
  3. I do not understand that, perhaps my google translator has not done well, what do you mean? I am going to search the internet for that silicone that you tell me says it is fast and I will disassemble the sensor again and apply as you have indicated, it seems to me that the oil comes out of the copper filaments, but I will try what I you have indicated.
  4. I have not seen that silicone near me, but I am going to look for it on ebay and if I can not find I will look for another similar one.
  5. Hello, to change the bulbs I only had to remove the dome, the side panels and of the four screws that hold the odometer I removed only the top two, with this you can push the odometer forward one inch and with that to spare to access the bulbs . I changed the big six but I did not put led, I put the same but more watts, the ones I had were 1.7 watts and I have put them 5 watts. So it looks pretty good Just removing the top two screws gives you good access, removing the bottom screws takes more time and really doesn't need to. I think these are still the original ones, 20 years old !! These are the ones that I have put now. This is how my odometer looks now. I am afraid to put them on LEDs because they heat up more and will surely have a shorter duration, although if the good quality purchases are possible that they heat up a little and last a long time, keep in mind that the odometer is always on (here in my country it is mandatory to carry always the light on, so I did not put them on led).
  6. Hello friends, I need your wisdom. I have an oil leak through the CAMPULSE GENERATOR cable, this leak goes to the cable connector next to the throttle stop screw (attached photo), at first I thought it was between the cables and I filled it with silicone and left it very well closed, but it continues losing and I have deduced that the leak is not between the two cables, it is just inside the cables, that is to say by the metallic wires of the cable, since if I clean everything when the first droplet begins to appear, the cable is clean and dry but the connector is dirty, also due to the force of gravity the oil would not rise to the connector. It is not a serious thing and loses very little, but over time the area fills with oil and stains everything. I could buy a new one but it is a pity that working well I have to change it and spend a lot of money, surely this is produced by the passage of time (20 years) and although here in my area there is that piece of occasion I am afraid that it will happen same as it will have the same time. This is what I did but the problem was not there, it is inside the cables !!! This is from behind, but here I do not know if I can put silicone or where to put it. This is where you see the problem, clean cables and dirty connector. Any idea to solve it? I suppose this will have happened to more people and you will have an effective solution without having to change it. Let's see if with your help I can solve it !!! Thanks in advance
