I dunno if anyone else has found checking the fluids a right PITA but I very quickly got tired of trying to use three hands to hold the bike upright, apply revs and hold a torch to be able to see the oil level. And the coolant? Pale pink fluid in a dirrty opaque receptacle -how the hell are you supposed to see that without removing panels? So I fashioned a solution using a couple of cm of LED strip and wired it back to the Optimate socket. Now all I have to do is plug in the cable and hey pesto LIGHT!! IF I can work out how to upload images you'll see what I mean so bear with me

That sounds easier than trying to shine a torch through the coolant bottle. Imaginative solution  ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

Sometimes a bit of tech can be really useful rather than just clever and unnecessary. |
