Haven’t encountered that yet, the commuter grips draw 3.2 amp max so less than the 4amp ones I had on the CBF before which is set up exactly the same way. Mind you I practically never ran the grips on max, normally setting one or two out of five. Wouldn’t hurt to pop a 7.5 amp fuse in I suppose especially as the box won’t be that easy to access where it is. Can be accessed from below but a fiddly bastard of a job on the roadside.

The grips will have an inline 5 amp won’t they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago All back together on the front, tank cleaned out. Also petrol tap cleaned and resealed. Just want to fit my vacuum vSystem Scott Oiler and I can put the bodywork back on and I am on the road. Prolly first dry day next week. Just need to go and get a few litres of E5 to get it to the garage. Also think I am going to order a new battery I don’t trust the one on there and I am not willing to gamble. The one thing I think won’t work is the fuel light. I can’t get any reading at all from the sender. The wiring on the bike is fine as I can light the fuel bulb with a jumper wire. I don’t care that much TBH as the fuel tap has a reserve so I shouldn’t get stranded. (Famous last words). Also a question for you clever types, the replacement rear brake light switch has shat the bed and stuck on. It worked fine when I fitted it a few weeks ago but isn’t now. I’m tempted to leave as is for a minute and ride it to see if it frees up and starts working. It wasn’t a cheap switch. Oh and I did fit a 7.5 amp fuse on the heated grips. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely better to have it stuck ON than off...I'd do the same. Winter temps can sometimes play havoc on switches. I've got a dodgy brake light switch on my Chevy pickup...got into the habit of pulling the brake pedal up w/ my toe before I leave a signal or park it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hydraulic switch so I have just unplugged for now, the brake light still works on the front lever so should be safe enough to ride it like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted 4 minutes ago Author Share Posted 4 minutes ago Just ordered a Yuasa for the Sprint from Tanya Batteries, the battery on the bike is a Numax that Tanya are selling for £37 , the Yuasa was double that but Worth it IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
