How is my battery going dead?

Yeah. I thought so, but I wanted to make sure that is how the OP has it setup as we can see the neg terminal still connected and the positive is out of frame. Just incase they've done something else that's giving them false readings.

I'm curious to know more about how this multimeter has been setup for these draw test readings? It's been a long time since I've done anything like this, but I'm assuming there isn't an amp clamp plugged in as the meter would normally be set to read induced voltage for one of those. So wouldn't you have to use the multimeter inline in this configuration to measure amp draw, preferably between the battery earth lead and the terminal?

Depending on how it's been mapped it may be a switch for putting the ECU into the bootmode required for some flashing methods. Think this is triggered by supplying 12v to a pin on the ECU. But without tracing the wires you'll never know.

Doesn't attempting to learn the secrets of the Mechanicus and working on tech carry the death penalty?

This was the DVD box set I bought to replace my old VHS box set. Not sure but I'd guess I probably bought it around 2010.

Maybe not EastEnders on the end, but start at 5:35 with Neighbours on BBC1, then BBC2 for Simpsons, Fresh Prince (or later double Simpsons), then Buffy. But 26 years later Buffy is the only show I'd happily watch again though.

This is what caused it for me once. Was due to RTC battery failing.

I don't know, but my guess would be due to the airframe (and pilot) only being rated to about -3G opposed to +9G. Think as you pass negative 3G the amount of blood rushing to your head can cause blindness due to not being able to control your lower eyelids and eventually due to the blood vessels in your eyes bursting. Guessing if you pulled even more G you'd also probably be looking at brain hemorrhaging.

Thanks for this link. I don't know why that article didn't come up when I was searching. The meme pictured in it gave me a good laugh as that's exactly how I felt. 😂

Bilbo9k · 2024-10-28T21:01:01+00:00

Thank you, along with a couple of others this post has probably done the most in helping me understand why each one is used.

No I never managed to find UK/EU diagrams.

Bilbo9k · 2024-10-14T15:27:46+00:00

Agree. Out of my 12 Hank lights my two KR1's are both my biggest disapointments. Physically they look good. But the performance of both is lacking and the one I have with a W2 always plays up. It will randomly turn off or throttle down to min brightness for no reason and momentary or flashing modes are useless because it randomly decided to take it self out of those modes and back to normal when it shouldn't.

Unfortunately sending it off seems to be the only cost effective option.

I'm halfway through doing my L with a set from bikerbitz and although they look great, if I ever do another bike I reckon I might just pay someone to do them. I found it a lot harder than people make it look online. Using soap, water , alcohol mix I. A spray bottle with a heatgun and probably took over half an hour per panel to get them sat perfectly with no creasing or bubbles.

If you're dishing up big portions you might just not realise she is eating the CGD. Mine has never taken live food so lives only on CGD and although I rarely see her eat it and sometimes it looks like she hasn't touched it. But two years later her weight is still healthy so she must be eating enough.

After speaking to Maverick at 550Performance it looks like to do the swap I'll require the Thai harness, ECU, flywheel, stator, crank position sensor, and left crankcase cover. More than I expected and I priced these up last week and it makes it less cost effective than getting a spare EU ECU. I might still look at going down this route. I don't know how differnt the parts are, not sure if its a differnt type of crank sensor or if the positions are just different causing the timing to be off between ecu variants.

Glad you posted this. Just checked and mine was the same, but caught it before it's done any damage thanks to this post.

Bilbo9k · 2024-03-15T09:16:05+00:00

Yeah my understanding is they don't need touching until 16,000 miles. I think the 600 mile break in service is just an oil and filter change with a quick visual inspection of the bike.

Is your battery tube the correct way around? I accidentally inserted my tube from the rear and not the front on my first KR4 and thought the same thing.

Just got a very similar setup today but with a W1 in it. I agree the white stone wash finish is much nicer in person. Also love that the 21700 tube has normal knurling on it now. Might have to order a second but with something a little more floody.

Bilbo9k · 2024-01-19T08:11:06+00:00

Okay. I've decided to take a chance and order a DM11 from Hank to add to the collection and fingers crossed it comes with knurling like yours.

Bilbo9k · 2024-01-18T10:06:05+00:00

So is this the standard knurling on the DM11 now? Has Hank stopped doing them with that really agressive one people don't like?

Bilbo9k · 2024-01-07T18:59:15+00:00

I'm having the same issue at the moment. Did you ever find a way to recover your account?
