LED Flash Relay Modification

Just found a link http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=294551 , written by kritip



This applies to EU and other bikes with hazards and 4 pin relays, type Mitsuba FR33-025 (however, if you show me the insides of a 2 pin I can advise as well)


Cut into the relay case, very carefully, and don't go deep. From about 1.5cm to 2.5cm from the top of the relay on the printed side, roughly where you should see >PBT+GF30<. Do not cut deep as the circuit board is only 3-4mm away from the plastic casing.


There you will see the flasher IC chip...its a freescale MC33193:

Simply, and carefully cut pin 7 or the copper track that links it so it's not linked up anymore....that should do the trick. It's very easy to apply a bit of pressure with a small tipped screwdriver to the top of the leg of the IC, and it will snap off.





BE WARNED THAT PIN 7 IS THE FAULT DETECTING PIN> so no rapid blinking warning in case of a single bulb failure if u switch back to bulb.

Oil, oil filter and clutch filter change

Use a 12mm hex socket wrench to unscrew the pan bolt. Avoid the hot exhaust pipe by using an extender. Take care not to loss the screw washer.

Oil filter removed with a chain wrench. More residual oil drained out.

Cheap chain wrench. 

Oil the rubber seal before replace it back.

Remove the 2 8mm screws holding the clutch filter plate. Take care of the spring.

 Identify the outside of the clutch filter. Oil the rubber seal of the  inner side .

Old and new clutch filter.

Clutch filter plate. Check the rubber seal.

DCT oil change needs approx 4L 10W-40 engine oil. Check the dipstick level when the bike is in central stand.

Recommended oil replacement volume is 3.4L. Dipstick should be just seat on the socket without screwing in , when doing measuremnt .

NC700 Givi Crash Bar Installation

Left Crash Bar : Remove the 17mm bolt.U need a lot of muscle power or any extension bar.

Then the second engine 17mm bolt

Partially fasten the engine bolt with the crash bar

The left bar installation is more tricky. 

Thee horn bracket is obstructing the 17mm engine bolt and needed to be removed first. 

Remove the 17mm engine bolt

 Install the crashbar and with attention to the spacer on insertion of the bolt.

Remove the engine bolt 17mm

The hose bracket is obstruction the crash bar and has to be removed.

 The engine bolt spacer has to be hold in place with some paper.

Fasten the lower crash bar inner bolt. U need a small spanner.

Why Casio Protrek water proof fails

These are the tiny O-rings in the side buttons.

These are the O-rings on the chasis. They are subject to dirt built up. Once the O-ring lubricant dries up or pressure difference is great and sudden, leaks will happen.

Replacing Handlebar

 Loosen the 4 bolts , hex size 12mm 

Remove the brake lever light switch in front of the right brake reservoir

Right side brake reservoir, 2 hex size 8mm

 Unscrew the 2 philips screw for the right control hub

 Left side mirror Hub.

 Left rubber grip loosen with a chopstick and some silicon spray

 The vibration dampener weight is locked with 2 hook and pressed with a screw driver to release it.

 The whole dampener is pulled out and replaced.

The vertical alignment is based on the left mirror which should be vertical in the base.

Do not over tighten the  12mm bolts as the raiser is made of aluminium.

This job takes 30-45 mins. The dealer charge me HKD 400  for this and it is a fair price.

New GPS anti theft tracking

This new module has vibration alarm function that it will send a call to a designated cell phone and sends a sms with GPS coordinates once it detects a change after the vibration. This one works very well and reliable.
