Scooters and Rear Turn Signals

 


    Have you ever noticed, that the new Scooters and Rear Turn Signals are
almost impossible to replace once you are remote from a lot of tools/space and
time to replace.

    Is there a cynical reason that these fragile and most important turn
signals are out of easy reach to save your life, much the same as many cager
signals as well.

    To change the ever so important rear turn signal, on the Majesty, you:

1] Place the scooter on a center stand
2] Remove Rear cowlings A and B
3] Remove the passenger bolt and seat
4] Remove the whole 4 screw bolts of the main Grab Bar
5] Remove the 3 screws of Cowling C/Side Panel
6] Remove the Socket and light counterclockwise

These are all different Allen and Phillip head sizes

.......Then you re-assemble.

    I would really think twice about my chances on getting home if I did
this 2 hour job or not...

    I think I'll install some screw on lenses, this Japan tech is a bit
retarded and dangerous for me....

You must have very accomodating passengers over there. Over here they object
strongly to being bolted to the bike.



Nah, you sell the bike when the lights go out.

Or ride without the turn signals and use the old "Mark One Arm" method.

But when using the right arm, the bike slows down.   :)

Replace light bulb with LED light bulb.  When one LED burns
out, the matrix is still lit.  More expensive, but less
hassle.

Making assembly without external screws looks purdy, but I
would have preferred the screws for bulb accessibility.  But
then it means little to me as I don't own a Majesty.

    The only LED I have so far is the Tail/Brake light and the Gorilla
Alarm, but LED replacements seem to be a good idea if this becomes a habit with
the 2005 bikes electronics.

    Lucky it has dual headlamps....I'm still breaking the 400ccc cylinder,
my last Honda Elite ch250 had more spunk and bungee carry options for photo and
range h-guns...

    Using one arm is kinda iffy and quickly done on a 500 + 200lb top heavy
Yamy....

It might be the Majesty engine is still a little tight being
new.  My Savage thumper didn't loosen up until I hit 8,000
miles (12,900 km).  Now it is a different beast.

.... and I was kidding about using one arm.
