[webbyc]

Thanks for the advice Guys extremely useful as always. Anyway Dibble I think I'll pass on your offer thanks. AK looks like you've got a job, although I've since had an offer from Brett at Pro Twins to sort it out as well.

So Al where does the queue start, and will it have to end up multi-coloured?

[AK]

Al is a bit 'tied up' this weekend (no, dont even go down that road ).......going to Essex Arena to do his Yank bits on Sunday, loading for it Sat pm....

Will see what he can sort for next w/end - maybe I could get him to earn some coffees at the DSC Hants meet next Sunday, as he is planning on giving the project its first airing there.......

CK the mind boggles!!!!! Hampshire here we come - hopefully!!!!!!!!! What's Al's hourly rate?

Can you just add a shorting link on the loom connector where the side stand switch plugs in. I guess this would allow you to start the bike in gear too, a risk but is you are unsure about your nutral light and having to positivly check for nutral, it shouldn't be too much of an issue??


Rgds, Rob

Just found this on the message board:

-----------------
I did this myself to my 998, and it cost 50p for the diode.

Procedure is to connect a IN4001 diode from the +ve side of the neutral light to the 'Blue' wire side of the sidestand, with the 'striped' end of the diode connected to the neutral light side.

This has worked well for over 12 months and for 50p, a real bargain.

This way means that the engine operates either when the side stand is up, or when both the sidestand is down and the neutral light is on.
