Steamers (1993-1998 Tigers) / Re: Steamer with bad habbits
Last post by Titus - Today at 09:26:34 PMI found nothing, only the relay for the highbeam, I have left headlamp on with low and both on with high, bike is made for german market I guess, lots of factory stickers under seat in german.
Both are h4's but the highbeam one has only 2 wires, one for 12v comes from high relay and one for ground. If I monkey a wire from the left lamp to the right they both light up and work as you want but it strains the alternator alot, you can hear it, also dimms heavily on idle, so not good.
I'm sure there is a way to do it properly.

Last post by 93TigerBill-2016 - Today at 12:17:17 AMHey Titus,
Good work in sorting out the CDI issue.
My '93 (with painted side cases) has always had both headlights on High & Low beam.
I seem to recall this was an issue with later 955i 'bikes, which needed an extra Relay to have both on?
Have a good look at the wiring diagram, or have a look for 'empty' relay socket?
Regards,
Bill

Last post by Titus - May 07, 2024, 08:42:35 PMAlso, how do you make both headlamps turn on with the lowbeam? Only highbeam makes them both light up.

Last post by Titus - May 07, 2024, 07:34:27 PMYes it's a drain, found it in a parts manual, and it should have a cap/plug, will fit something there.
Temp gauge goes to max if earthing it, so that is normal, just weird that it always stays so low, only if warmed up after a ride and left to idle the needle barely moves. Seen some youtube vids, some seem to be doing the same thing, others work just fine.
Bike is running perfect and I'm here bothered by a little temp gauge

Last post by London_Phil - May 07, 2024, 05:48:41 PMI'm sure the Airbox drain should have a bung in it, and the temp gauge sounds about right.
You can always try connecting it to some resistances.

Last post by Titus - May 07, 2024, 03:29:21 PMFurther questions.
1.Temp gauge seems to not show anything above the second cold line, thermostat and fan switch are fine, getting up to about 95c then fan kicks in, no problem. Cleaned electrical conection, same, cleaned temp sensor, same, what to change? Temp sensor or gauge? Barely gets above the cold mark even if engine hot fan running.
2. I have a little conection small nipple in the airbox to the rear of the bike, its drawing in unfiltered air as it is after the air filter, small 8mm dia. nipple, what should that connect to? Should I blank it off ? Only airbox connection in the manual is the crankcase vent, is this little nipple a drain? It draws unfiltered air so a little worried.

Last post by Titus - May 07, 2024, 12:55:38 PMThank you for the kind words Beernard, I'm doing my best. Still afraid of the cdi, should I get another one just in case? Maybe in a few years they will stop being availible. You can fix anything mechanical and fabricate stuff but that little bugger...

Last post by Lee337 - May 07, 2024, 12:10:02 PMTook Talyn J out for a nice littel 100 mile trip over the weekend.
It was toitally uneventful, noce roads, good weather. Stoped for a coffee at a cafe I'd never been in before. Won't be stopping there again, coffee was aweful.
