I've got a strange problem with the switchback indicators I installed that I hope some cleaver owner might be able to help me with.
The bulbs are GTR Lighting GTR.LED572 1157 Switchback Carbide Canbus 2.0 LED Bulbs. They have built-in resistors so don't require a resistor kit. I changed the bulb holders to BAY15D and ran the extra power from the the glove box 12v supply via a switch and fuse.
The bulbs work fine without the engine running but when I start the engine and try the indicator they either give just one flash or don’t work at all.
Strangely I have discovered that if I start the bike with the flashers going (especially the hazard with both indicators flashing) after maybe 6 or 7 restarts the indications will start working fine with the engine running. Once they start working I have no problem with them while riding the bike. I can even turn off the bike for a short time and they will continue to work when I restart the bike. However, when I come back after a couple of days (I haven’t worked out the exact minimum time) I will have to go through the whole process again of restarting the bike a number of times with the indicators on to get them working!
p.s. I'm a bit disappointed with the bulbs because although the indicators are super bright, I feel the white light is not as bright as I would have liked.

This is what I use to keep things clean.
If you use this make sure you don’t let the cap seal fall in the tank.

Don’t get me started on ethanol, I used to have an old Land Rover and after we switched to 10% ethanol I lost 15% fuel economy and I had to run the premium fuel to begin with.

I attended the rally in 2018 and I had a wonderful time, the rally in 2018 was held in the Dordogne area of France.  I was the only English rider there but had a great time.  The French Trophy riders really made me feel very welcome and I was taken under the wing of the only English speaking member, who was great fun and totally looked after me.  Everything about the rally was well organised especially the rid out on Saturday. In 2018 the Rally was held in a camping ground so I spent the time in a tent,  The 2022 rally I will be held in the grounds of a chateau with proper beds.  I hope to attend this year but will have to re-jig my diary and check if they accept non-Trophy riders as my SE has been sold and I now ride a T120 Bonne and Tiger 900.,   but am very keep to attend again.   

 

I've only had it for a few months but so far so good.  I ran without the baffle for awhile.  I liked the sound but I ended reinstalling the baffle.  Still sounds good, a little mellow with less popping. 

I have no experience with the tires you mentioned, but I have been quite pleased with the Dunlop Roadsmart III Tires, which are currently priced attractively since the IVs have been introduced.
