rectifier!! hee...

I'm a cantankerous lugubrious weirdo. Enraptured by stone walls. Demented by love. Disparaged by my own soul. Besieged by languor. Suffered from acute distress triggered by terminal boredom and elucidation of rhodonderons and deciduous seedlings. Searched for serenity amidst the chaos but failed miserably.

well... i tink it should be possible to get a fuel meter...

 

for me, i got a voltmeter installed on my rvf due to the huge amount of electrical problems the rvfs have..... it gives me a better monitoring of the problems and proven useful....

Not really, if you use original RVF headlights the votage is much much lower than the non-original ones. If you use the non original ones also can but long term will cause the red-cap connector to melt and spoil.

 

One thing to note: original very ex!!:goodluck:

even though the original headlight bulb is more expensive then the non-original, it will save you more in the long run........ otherwise later when it affects your rectifier , its gonna cost you more bro.....

 

 

by the way, the original bulb light is not white right?
