left turn lights off, straight lights on, steer right lights on. So it's big right turn only loops for me now. wonder how long that's been going on. -
I noticed my repaired tail light housing was loose again, pulled it apart plastic welded it cleaned connections bolted it all back together and Installed the bitch (loose nuts on the interior of the tail. No Tail lights! pulled it apart checked everything both filaments work (3 wire lights) all seems fine but no power on the loom side. fuse good... blah blah. That ignition spot past the steering lock for parking lights ( i really don;t understand that and it's dangerous to drain the batter under a cover) tail lights come on. I swapped out the digital signal relay for the original no change, disconnected the battery to reset, no change. bad ecu? faulty ignition (headlight works) what's left

https://www.google.com/patents/US6729445sounds like maybe an insulator to reduce rotor/pad to caliper/fluid heat transfer? how has that turned out for me. actually this patent was after my bike was produced.. (Italy vs US file dates?) Another heat factor would be that my front rotors are semi floating and the rear rotor and caliper are fixed.

Something else, the pistons have plastic "center cups" that stick out past the piston edges(air pressure?), but not overlapped, but do make it harder to press the metal to get them back in. reason for those? Last set of pads with Ti shims was impossible to fit pads over the rotors with the shims in...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/171865625992 7x2, cable discs, stem shifters, 31 lbs... two tone chainrings. Each color's photo has the bar angle all over the place. Don't know what the rear brake bar is all about or maybe it;s a kickstand. I actually had a classier visp, too rigid for bad streets, never had it on a track.

I (in my car) had a driver coming head on in my lane to pass a slow fedex truck on a blind curve last week and when I honked at him, he shrugged like how is this his fault.
