[mention]Tango[/mention] No probs I'll be there, just got to plan a route now.

Did you find out why the fuse blew in the first place?

When you say loose do you mean the lights go off when the brakes are applied then come back on or the lights go off as a fuse blows.

I remember batteries like that.. from years ago.. so long ago in fact that I think it was likely in the last century. odd to think that people still buy batteries with a visible min/max level. so.. are designed to be topped up. and all the faffing about that goes with that. But they fit in so well with my Leclanché cell for the wireless, gas lighting and candles for when the gas meter runs out.

As Rae says most likely the seams etc. apart from the socks could try these. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=motorbike+waterproof+overboots&spell=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiN9p2G3q_aAhUkM8AKHQZUDr8QBSgAegQIABAq&biw=1297&bih=786

If I'm free will try to get there

Don't need flights Rant

Should be ok. Is that waiting in Bancroft place or by the bus turn round.

Sounds good. I can be flexible either a ride or meet up for eats.

Nice day for a run out Cross Keys Belvoir Brewery Green hippos Green hippos Sycamore HD

[mention]Speedy23[/mention] See here for the Hungry hogs meet https://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=66517 Sat or sun yet to be confirmed. Meet time 12ish. Jut a good run out and a chance to meet some of the folks on the forum See here for the last meet up. https://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=64957 The challenge rules are here https://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=65608. Select an unused number and register. Then see the map https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1nZBCpEnBrHv9jjIPoeHYOEjXqrtaTFAV&ll=54.13769096879727%2C-1.7218378999999686&z=6 For a list of places to go and photograph then post you pictures here https://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=65610 And keep your own score, no prises just an excuse to get out and see new roads. Probably not have time for a tag on the meet up. Hope to see you next week maybe Friday and the hungry hogs

I try to get an hour or two riding then end up at Wellesbourne for coffe and sandwich. Are you going for the Hungry Hogs meet up the 14th or 15th?

Weather is supposed to be reasonable Friday. So hopefully out and about. Any one else. Provisionally, TMBF tag in Bedworth in the morning then bimble about and may end up at Wellesbourne Airfield cafe.

Either day should be ok for me.

[mention]ADB[/mention] Hi and welcome. Could it be CAMPION https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campion_Cycle_Company https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Campion_Cycle_Co

And most converters these day's come with a LED fitted to show its on .. I went away to work and forgot to hook up the bike to the Optimate charger, came home to find the Busa battery completely flat and shot, l found out that the permanent usb supply l had wired in for my phone was the culprit, it's now on the switch side of the circuits. I thought like some, that without a load attached there would be no current draw, i was proven wrong the hard way once again. It is a common misconception and it is never made clear in the instructions. If you get instructions with it. However there are some USB ports on EBay that have an ON/OFF switch fitted.

Found it. If you suffer from insomnia have a read of this http://www.bigmessowires.com/2016/01/28/standby-current-of-a-usb-car-charger/ Basically it draws less than 14mA.

I thought that too, but recognise I'm not knowledgeable on the subject This was discussed somewhat a long time ago. Basically with the USB units there is a circuit inside which converts the 12volts to 5 volts. This circuit is active at all times and so it draws a few milliamperes even when nothing is plugged in. Then when you plug an item in the current draw goes up as it starts to charge the device. The cheaper the USB unit the more it uses at rest. I did find out the approx current draw at rest but can't remember now. So under most applications it will not run the battery down BUT on a small bike with a low capacity battery there is a chance if the bike is not used for a week or two the battery may go flat. HTH

That's a Bugger. I Hate doing U turns even now.

My bad . 85 & 86 are coil 30 & 87 are the switched aux contacts.

1- Yes best to use a different live unless you are ok with having to have the lights on 2 yes it is the same fuse. best to put where I have shown so it protects the relay as well. However you could put an extra fuse in front of the relay with bigger wire and then use the relay to switch several items each fused after the relay. Your choice really But fuse before the relay minimum.
