multimeter

Hi all, my XL250S has started blowing the dip filament as soon as it is turned on. The main beam is fine with no issues. When I checked with a multimeter I found the white wire has continuity to earth when the lights are switched on. Has anyone any ideas what might be causing it or what to...

Hi, I think I have excessive draw on the battery on my XRV 750 AT. I have used a multimeter set on 10 amps and checked the main -ve and also the separate Facet fuel pump -ve. I get: Main -ve 0.08 (800 milliamps I think) Fuel Pump -ve 0.04 (400 milliamps I think) I think this is too much but...

Hi All I am fitting a phone holder to my Dommie (1996 RD08). When I came to wire it in I found the pictured wire and connector under the seat above the battery. It has the same type of plug as my phone charger and would be an ideal plug in point if it is a switched connector. It is hard wired...

Has anybody fitted one of these to their domi if so which one. I think the one i fitted to the AT will do it but not 100% sure. I've just fitted a volt meter to my bike and its pushing out 17.6v on tickover with nothing switched on, its ok with the lights on. I've compared it with my multimeter...

Just bought bike. started fine when being shown bike 3 hours later would not start turned over a few times - then Nhhhh sound only ( not firing/ turning over at all ) Lights seem bright Voltage on battery was 18 ( on 20v range - I don't have a 12v range on my multimeter! ) Is the starter...

Hi, I'm going to fit heated grips and spot lights to my 89 Transalp and need to find an ignition switched live to trigger the relay, I've had a prod around with a multimeter this evening but can't seem to find anything suitable, anyone got any suggestions. Cheers Jon Sent from my LT26i using...

following on from my cdi dying along with the reg rec and battery i've replaced all the components and the reg rec is an R6 one. new earth from battery to frame and the wiring of the reg rec done according to a few on here. tickover on my multimeter im getting 15.2v it doesnt go up ur down when...

XRV750 RD07A 1997. Battery flat, got bike started and rode with lights off to recharge. Today I took some measurements with a multimeter across the battery terminals Engine switched off 12.3 Volts (seems a bit low to me) At tickover with lights off, battery shows 14.2 Volts At tickover with...

My bike is charging fine then not charging and then charging then not. Doing the multimeter test I get 14.3 no lights and then 13.8 with lights, then 13.2,12.9,13.6,13.2,12.8,13.5 etc etc, up and down like a yoyo, what can be causing the undulations in the charging circuit.

anyone tried a kit something like this Large Zinc Electroplating Plating Kit restore Car and Bike FREE multimeter | eBay and were you happy with the results,

Right then ladies and gentlemen, I'm after some electrical measurements. After this thread about low fuel indication, I'm after a measurement of the resistance of the sensor, or even both sensors, when the tank is empty. I'm expecting it to be less then 100 Ohms, but I'd like to know how low is...

just read on another motorcycle based website that if you disconnect your earth terminal from the battery and then connect a multimeter to the battery earth and the other lead to the earth terminal, then the reading should be zero and any other reading shows that something is creating a constant...

If someone happens to remember wich wires needs to connect together at loom i`d be grateful and i wouldn`t need to find my multimeter :)

Hi, I'm new on here so if the subject has been covered before don't shoot I come in peace. The clock is working, the stopwatch is working but the distance facilities aren't. I've checked with a multimeter and I'm getting an electrical reading when the front wheel is being rotated. Anyone with...

Hi all, as it says really, I was trying to fix/fit a car stereo at the weekend and the wire from one of the prongs (for want of a better or maybe more acurate term) came out, I stripped it a little more and shoved it back in, to make a more permanant fix could I not drop some solder on the...

I've recently been taking a pocket multimeter on the bike as someone often has an electrical fault when out. Trouble is all the leads get tangled up, so I purchased one of these from Wilko's (the one on the left!) - under 8 quid & quite a bit smaller than most pocket m/m's on the market & comes...

Just checked my RD07a's reg/rec after the battery decided to go flat after commuting home last night, and sure enough one of the diodes is shot. I first checked the reg/rec with an old analogue multimeter which gave the correct resistance reading to 5 of the diodes (800 ohms forwards, open...
