The front blinkers should have two filament bulbs for the US market. Both dimmer 5W filaments should be on with the headlight as marker lights until you use a blinker, at which point the 5w filament will go out on the blinking side, and the 21W bright filament should flash.

Re: Speeding...

I have Britain question about speeding for the floor. I know there are lots of vans and cameras etc but are there places that you know you can go and ride a bit more quickly? Obviously the main highways are going to be much more carefully watched, but when I want to go for a ride, I always hit up m...

Re: My first VTR and How I May Have Made a Big Mistake...

It's an upgrade opportunity, won't be long till your hooked. Welcome to the madhouse by the way. Oh, I'm hooked. This bike has been on my rad...

Re: My first VTR and How I May Have Made a Big Mistake...

Take the fairings off and look on the inside for repairs. Take the levers off and heat up with a blow torch and bend back to normal - though I would replace as last thing I would want is them to break while out on the hoof.
