Title: Second speedo light Post by kk lewi on 10/03/09 at 18:49:21 What have you guys/gals done with yours? :-? |

Title: Re: Second speedo light Post by T Mack 1 - FSO on 10/03/09 at 18:56:04 ??? Are you talking about the empty light that use to be the side-stand light on the early year bikes?? Also .. I think the 88 or 89 wiring diagram called it the oil light , but the bike never had a oil pressure sensor. Pretty hard to get a pressure switch to sense the 2 to 4 PSIG the bike has at idle..... |

Title: Re: Second speedo light Post by verslagen1 on 10/03/09 at 20:27:05 Why would you want your horn to know you were "beeping" someone? |

Title: Re: Second speedo light Post by Serowbot on 10/03/09 at 22:10:37 No, no ,no.... I want to know,... when my horn is beeping... ;) My horn already knows it's beeping,... That's would be silly... :-/ |

Mmm, dunno what is used to be but it's to the right of the one that tells you are in neutral. :) AFAIK it doesn't do anything on my '07. :-/ |

I guess Suzuki thought "DUH", side stand down, put it in gear and it turns off, DUH. Cost saving deletion.... What would you like to put in there??? An oil pressure light (low oil press) would be nice, but the bike is a low pressure bike. A 3000 RPM the spec says 7 to 10 psig. That translates to about 2-4 psig at idle. Most easily available oil press sensors don't go that low. So everytime you come to a stop sign or wait at a light, the oil light would come on. That would be annoying...... |

Title: Re: Second speedo light Post by Charon on 10/04/09 at 18:57:35 Might be nice to figure out a way to put a LOW FUEL light in there, that would light up and warn you to go to RESERVE before the engine dies in traffic. |

Charon, WOW, great minds think a like. 8-) I had that typed in but though I was already typing too much. backspced it out. Yea, low fuel would be great, but hard to do. Maybe an over temp light would be a easy one to do...... but what is the max temp? T Mack |

Title: Re: Second speedo light Post by Serowbot on 10/05/09 at 01:21:35 I rode a Honda 500 Shadow for a while,... that had an indicator for 6th gear, overdrive.... I'm always looking for one more gear?.... :-? Figure that one out!.... I dare ya'!... ;D and then,... I'll copy ya!.... ;) Hunting for sixth gear, is just plain embarrassing sometimes... :-[ |

Title: Re: Second speedo light Post by Charon on 10/05/09 at 05:27:51 My '83 Suzuki 650 Tempter had a digital gear indicator, but it required a switch set in the transmission (probably on the shift star wheel) to make it work. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to add a "brake light ON" indicator. That might give warning that your brake light was on, should you be one of the people who sometimes rest your right foot on the pedal while riding. |

Title: Re: Second speedo light Post by babyhog on 10/05/09 at 07:35:11 A LOW FUEL light would definitely be my choice! ~ |

Title: Re: Second speedo light Post by jabman on 10/06/09 at 04:37:16 what's the tiny black wire that goes into the engine near the oil sight glass? |

Title: Re: Second speedo light Post by ralfyguy on 10/07/09 at 04:54:11 A redline warning light, like in F1 to tell you when to shift. ;D |

Title: Re: Second speedo light Post by Oldnewguy on 10/08/09 at 15:00:12 Does anyone know if there is a socket and/or wire in there? |
