SILVER WING COMMUNITY ITALIA

Hello all of you.

Sorry for posting in english but my italian is really bad.

I am a new user of Honda's bike and have a couple of questions on it:

1) What is the usual idle rpm of the bike? 1200 ?

2) I bought a used bike that wasn't used for several month and when i pull the brake lever, the brake light does not work (of course the brake does). The strange thing, is that the bulb are ok (2 filaments) and the day time running red light are working. Any idea?

3) I would like to install a speaker system, is there (like the burgman) a 12v output available behind the from dash? (not the cigarette lighter) ?

This is it so far

Grazié

Hello, please don't worry we do not pretend you to learn Italian to ask any questions here, so let's continue in English!
Here you are the answers you're waiting for:

1) 1200 rpm it's quite low but acceptable, the important is to not going down under 1100 rpm otherwise the candles could get dirty and probably you'll have to replace them

2) are you really sure the stop's filament is working? Please try to exchange with the other bulb avoiding to do it while is hot because you could damage the good ones. If you haven't fixed this way, you have to check microswitch located on the bottom of right brake pump. Just unplug the two "L" faston (wires brown/black green/white) and shortcircuit them together, light should light up. (see attached pic)

3) 12V key remoted is available behind the dash, it's located under the clear silicone protection on the right side, it's a 2p hitachi plug: +12V GREEN/BROWN -12v GREEN. See attached pic.

Look at the boundless "Archivio tecnico" (technical archive), here my assembly of the 12-volt socket, you can see the removal of the front of SW-T.

Hello,

Finally, I solved the problem.

1) There was some rust on the brake lever contactor that was cleaned with WD40.

2) The buld adaptor at the back was presenting some mouvement inside it. I changed the buld and it's now ok

Thanks all for your support

Salve,
alla fine ho risolto il problema.
1) c'era un pò di rugine sul microswitch della leva del freno che ho pulido col WD40.
2) il porta lampada posteriore (bulb?) accusava qualche falso contatto all'interno, l'ho sostituito e adesso funziona.
Grazie per il supporto.

Candles
Ma allora non ti ho isegnato niente.......

I know I should write spark plugs....but you know me I like Elton John's candles in the wind...

Oh I'm shure that you like
long candles!!

I also used the 12V connector you pointed for the heat grips that I have installed.

It's good to have a 12v output available.

I will also use it for the radio+speaker system.
