V650

Makes you wonder how some of these muppets got a driving license at all

I noticed when I changed bikes that a lot more people pulled out in front of me on the Honda Cb 500X with its small led headlight Hardly anyone pulled out in front of me on the Kawasaki Versys with its Huge headlight which I had also swapped to Led (I was wearing a white helmet on both bikes ) I installed 2 led lights on the Honda on a bar under the main light these were flood rather than spot lights and it seems to have made a difference I also wear a fluro type ( big yellow patches ) Jacket I also think Yellow colored spots would be a good choice to get noticed

Must admit when i seen that photo I thought someone had run in to it for both to get pushed up like that Glad to see he got it sorted though

looks Great Well done

Usually just the side stand for me But I always get off the bike to fill it as I am afraid of scratching the paintwork or dripping petrol all over it 17.7L tank on the 500X

If it works without them there were not necessary

There is an app for converting your photos in to AI My CB500 X near Lough Tay ( the Guinness Lake ) And below the AI generated version from the photo

And miss all that fun

I also use MRA free version with my XT and had no problems creating a route I usually create a route on the pc ( Big Screen ) and email it to myself and when I open the email on the phone garmin drive sends the route to the XT

Get well soon

Those ultrasonic cleaners are a great yoke

Bummer But don't let it stop you

Nothing like treating yourself to a few new bits

I have already installed a double waterproof socket on the side of the house about 3 feet from the bike and diden't want to be trailing a extension lead on the wet ground So I thought it should be straight forward enough to replace the power cord with a longer one to get me all the way round the bike Warranty doesen't bother me too much as it was not too expensive and if there was an issue then sending it back from Ireland to the UK for repair / replacement would be a small hassle so happy enough to just replace the cord with a longer one with molded plug

Would it not be cheaper / easier to buy one? something like this https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cbr1100xx-superblackbird-1999-x-usa-california_model7258/pipe-oil-return_15241mat000/ Not sure of your exact bike model but same pipe may be fitted to other models
