this evening I spent some quality time with my bike (eeeew so gay... :sian:), and decided to tackle the various problems and adjustments needed...

 

first I replaced the mounting tapes of two strobes to vehicular class mounting tapes...

 

second I improved the way I connect the oiler bottle and the hose...

 

third I adjusted my secondary light bulb as it was trying to hide...

 

fourth was the real challenge... to find the root of why my brake light disappeared...

 

after removing the seat I checked all the connections between the rear signals, tail light, brake light, plate light... all are ok... it was so damned...

 

after fiddling with the bike a while more I realised the problem... the stupid button that activates the brake light from the right lever was stuck... and the rear brake lever needed so much adjustment that it won't turn the light on... zzz... at least one major puzzle solved...

 

fifth... is equally extreme... the problem existed when the brake light was still working... when the brake is activated, the headlight would dim by half, and so would the tail light (brake light wouldn't come on too)...

 

after another round of inspection... the culprit is found... my givi brake light wire melted (zzz)... so the electrical systems was short circuiting... no wonder my fuse blew last week...

 

and so I cut off the melted section of the wire... since I didn't came from home I didn't have spare wires with me... but leaving it as it is for now gives me time to plan how I can enhance the brake lights... :cheeky:

 

sorry for the long post :cheers:

I cut a hole at the end of the hose and put a cable tie through it... then tied it to the pump... now the hose can't run away from the pump! :cheeky:
