Re: Flasher failure

Thanks for the suggestions. The bulbs are both ok and the flasher unit is one that copes with both types of lights and is the same as the one fitted when built four years ago. I’ve tried separate earth wires to no avail. Since nothing works on the indicator switch circuit I’m now thinking that perha...

Flasher failure

Strangely my flashers have ceased to function after the winter layup. However I suppose that they might have packed up late last year and I just never noticed. Both the front and back flashers and the idiot light don’t work but if I put on the hazards both the rear flashers and the idiot light illum...

Re: Sold my JZR say Ian

I had a JZR some years ago and I would say that the cockpit dimensions are very similar but I may have broadened out somewhat since then. Both are a snug fit for the driver unless you get a type 4 which has plenty of room. Whilst the JZR was great fun the Triking is far better engineered and handles...

Re: Brake bleeding spring maintenance

If you have a compressor then a vacuum bleeder is the answer. No messing about with the brake pedal and simple single handed operation. Various makes available on line but probably all just as effective.

Re: Engine temp difference

My experience with the reverse gearbox is to not attempt a change unless the car is actually slowly moving forwards or backwards. I try to preempt which way I next want to go before parking and switching off. Hope this helps.

Re: Modified clutch pedal

What a difference! We’ll done westendguzzi. I should have paid more attention to physics while at school.

Re: Type 3 smooth tail - rear lights

Another point. When I had completed my Triking to the stage where it was ready for the test I borrowed a flat bed trailer and took it down to Alan for him to check over and take it for it’s test on my behalf. He added in a secondary ignition switch that I didn’t know was necessary but also had doubt...

Re: Type 3 smooth tail - rear lights

Being useless at modern technology I can’t directly paste a link to the lights but if you search on eBay for “chrome Steele triple action motorcycle motorbike LED” they come up. Two left apparently. I can’t remember where I bought the stop/tail lamp from but again if you search eBay for “motorcycle ...
