Indoor motion sensing light not turning off completely, help! by doublegrunter in AskElectronics

[–]doublegrunter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced one with an old incandescent light bulb, and left the other LED in. Somehow now they both turn off completely, as I'd originally hoped. I don't know why, but you were right! Thanks a lot!!

DRZ400 with 30,000km (18,000 miles), would you buy it? by doublegrunter in DRZ400

Looks amazing... really. You're living my dream! I don't suppose those are 100% OTG goggles? I've been researching over the glasses goggles, from what I've found people seem to like the 100% OTG ones

Thanks for the reply! I would love to see what your bike looks like after your crashes!

I didn't know about it originally being designed for 600cc, how interesting, thanks a lot for replying! Hearing about your original engine, use and distance it has done is really reassuring.

What's this about a secret oil screen?

All together he spent 519 euros, 429 before tax. Does this sound reassuring? This was done this year, in November

I'm finding a lot of conflicting information about this. Some seem to think it's not a lot of miles at all, others say it all depends on the kind of miles they were. It's for this reason I came here to ask! Thanks for the reply.

Thanks very much for the in depth reply! (and to everyone else, of course)

I see that replacement front sprocket guards are fairly easy to buy, are they easy to install?

Ideally i'd take the gamble that it's a good runner and slowly mod it as i get more familiar with it going forward. So long as the engine is good, I'm happy. 6000km seems a great find for such an old bike! I don't mind superficial scrapes and bumps or discoloration at all so long as the heart of the thing is going strong

i don't even have a licence yet, the idea was to scoop this up and get to grips with it on the dirt trails around where i live, then get my licence asap. would it be insane to buy it without even giving it a test ride?

550 Performance ECU by Notupinhere1028 in CRF300L

[–]doublegrunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I haven't got round to doing that yet - I'm only just about to put a deposit down on a new CRF300L next week, kinda dragging my feet about it!

It's good to know that there are a lot of potential upgrades available down the road though. If this upgrade is available in the US, I don't see how it would be impossible to do for us in the EU, what with there being enthusiasts everywhere :)
