Handy tool that Jim. We use them in switchboards all the time, it makes loose connections and component failures so easy to find. But they’re not cheap. As for the demonetization, we can’t all be Delboy’s Garage 😉

Jim, I've only just come across your channel but it's one of best go to channels now for entertainment as well as education. Really like your style as it's funny, real life but informative all in a 1er. I'm green with envy of the workshop set up in the van 😀. Keep up the good work and I look forward to going through the rest of your videos.

Had the same failure on my 1998 600F, eventually upgraded to a Shindengen mosfet reg/rec and an Electrex generator, and made my own loom from stator to reg/rec and reg/rec to battery. Never a problem after that.

You just did a video(fairly new) where someone said they couldn't show your videos b/c of you swearing. I posted up on the subject telling you; Let him bleep out all the words he doesn't want in the videos & don't you change a word for anyone !! I did mean that because free men can speak the way they speak, no one has to listen & I hope you were not demonetized for nasty words.... I don't own a bike or ride at all, I just like watching people who are good at what they do - You do this!

Tip for you Jim when fitting a new battery. small bit of felt self adhesive pad on the connector nut to lift it up so the shortish screw can start to thread, works great especially if you have Optimate wires etc on the main bat terminals and the screw will not go far enough down to catch, also it can stop the nut falling off and into the black hole never to be see again. Thought of the thermal imagining camera to find bad connections too. regards

@richardprowse10885 ай бұрын
Call me a pedant if you like. The generator is designed for two purposes, primary to power the bike, secondary is to recharge the battery. The battery is used when the generator has insufficient output to power the bike, to start the bike providing high current for the starter and to give a load for the generator to help smooth the DC voltage.

Quick question. Why do you not just use a clamp on ammeter for parasitic? It’s what I use in automotive. Haven had a need on my bikes yet. So haven’t tried.
@SuperbikeSurgeryTV4 жыл бұрын
I have an amp clamp for the meter I was using but find the results a bit inaccurate with really low current flow. I prefer to connect directly so what you see is what you get. Probably time to invest in a new clamp as it is 15 years old!
@kevincampbell82984 жыл бұрын
Superbike Surgery Ltd yes. Maybe. Mine is fairly new. Plus I have a clamp on digital one that does fairly low current and fairly well. I use to calibrate meters when I was en electronics tech at a college. If they are dropped and what not they don’t stay accurate! Great vids. I think after a while we become more curse worthy working in bikes and cars! LOL Probably why I don’t do vids! LOL AWESOME truck setup!
