4th Replicant Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Hi all, I'm 31 years old and from N.Ireland. I am putting my dragstar in for a service and I am wondering do I need to do anything to maintain the bikes shaft drive? Also I have lights on the bottom crash bar but one seems to have blew, the screw has well rusted and I can't get it off to open inside. Does anyone know by the off chance what sort of bulb this would take? I love riding bikes but when it comes to working on them I am pretty useless. Thanks for reahttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/17/e497296c357b169e6d11804e832ceaa8.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/17/8aa2c9fc79d6288e617cffc44d25a70e.jpgding! Quote
Tango Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Welcome to TMBF mate.....pop over to the Newbies section and introduce yourself to the guys when you can....... As far as I know the crown wheel will have oil in it that needs to be replaced periodically.......as for the spot lamps, I don't think they're standard so it'll be hard to say what bulbs are in there until you get them apart........give the screws a good soak in some penetrating oil and then try them again.....

Wynne G Oldman Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I'm only guessing, but these sort of lamps usually have a 5W T10 bulb in them. I find that they blow much more frequently than most other bulbs, so I replace mine with LED equivalents. As said before, soak screw with plenty of WD-40 or Plus Gas and try again. Also, you could give the screwdriver a couple of cracks with a hammer, to try and free the screws. Good quality tools usually make a lot of difference to the outcome of this sort of problem. Make sure that your screwdriver bit is a good, tight fit. If it isn't, buy one that is. Quote
4th Replicant Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 Thank you. Sorry I didn't reply sooner I didn't think my post uploaded as it didn't show once I posted. I'll give it a go and see how I get on. Quote
