The Acumen gear/volt one should be wired direct to battery via a fuse on the live side; it stays indicating the voltage for a minute after the ignition switch has been turned off, so that you can see battery voltage recovering after starting attempts.

Strangely compelling to watch, as it ticks up .1 or .2 of a volt at a time....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I second that.

Tony does the Acumen have a power down feature after so long or is it on a permanent display?

Oooo I hope that goes well for you. Good job you got the Blueflames in :lol: Having another issue's, got me intrigued though! Nothing major I hope.

I like the idea of having it up by the clocks then you could see it while riding. I'm doing my Rider On A Storm CCT's this week, and I got some used/new cans turning up. All will be revealed :wink:

Right, sort that MOT out, get your priorities right :lol: And let us know if you need any help.

Good luck mate

Ride Safe :thumbup:

Basically its two things, one of the indicators ive wired up wrong, it works but its taking about 3-5 seconds after flicking the switch before it starts to flash, was three wires and i only neaded two so guessing ive done something wrong as the other works fine.

other truouble is the pump in the front brake

cheers mate

That's interesting BSM has a similar problem. I seem to remember posting something about that (sorry could not find the thread) but it was the one you put the video up of the indi's. Have you got an LED tail light?

BSM's did pass it MOT with the fault. Not an MOT fault, just something else to fix! but I guess it's the luck of the draw and various testers.

When you say pump, are you referring to the Caliper piston or the pumping of fluid/front brake lever?

Have Fun :thumbup:

It remains on for one minute after the ignition is turned off.
