Hey guys. What psi do you use on your /5's? I went according to the manual it stated 27 psi front and 30 psi rear (cold readings) and the bike did not handle good - felt bouncy, kind of "squirly" underneath me in the turns. I pulled over and let some air out of the rear and felt somewhat b...

If you KNOW the actual LAMPS are good, the problem is probably an inadequate ground connecting the little (AND they ARE LITTLE!) sockets. It is possible all 3 of the lamps are shot, though. Did they work before the untimely end of your wiring harness inside the shell? Yes. All bulbs worked before t...

actually 3 things are not working: 1) Neutral light bulb indicator. And yes, the blue wire is connected in the main harness to the back of the tranny. 2) the two illumination bulbs that light up the speedo unit 3) the horn. I am puzzled by the bulbs - even when I hook up to direct power they still d...

Jean - appreciate the advice as to the horn relay. Since I know nothing about wiring/electrical really, I wouldn't know what model/specs to get. Any input on this? R u serious about the smoke thing? It sounds funny and since I know next nothing about my newly obtained beemer, I will be totally gulla...

Ok everyone - just wanted to give an update: I have everthing working except two things - the horn and the 2 speedo unit illum. bulbs to light it up when its dark out. So I am going back to retrace since it needs power and evidently is not getting it. Almost done! Ordered new bulbs and bulb sockets ...

Jean - I understand what you are saying. The new main harness has those GR/BLK & GR/RD tracers that go back there, but there is also both a BRWN and a BLK/White ( I think originally gray/blk) tracers as well. There are also BL/BLK & BL/RD. Not sure what they go to, but they attach to some wi...

Ken in Oklahoma- I did buy and install the new main wiring harness, starter/turn signal switch harness & high beam/horn switch harness. Everything has been wired up. I have power to my headlight and hi-beam only at this time. I wired up everything like the diagrams & color codes fairly easil...

BTW, found out that the ignition switch upgrade kit was from Rocky Point Cycle. Bill was kind enough to forward me the kit directions, so this will help out too! I'm getting there...

No problem. Wires look like well, a mass knot of wires! Never looks clean no matter how neat I am being! :D Thanks for the reminder on the bulb colors. Now I just need to tell them apart from the wiring! :o I didn't know that wasn't the original ignition switch, but I can see mine is clearly differe...

Speechless because...how? :? Still a just a gop of wires to ya? Or how it is wired in some sections still? Actually, this isn't too bad of a task, got quite a bit done. Just wish I didn't have a bunch of confliciting diagrams a long with a different wiring job in some sections from the PO. Really ju...
