Important question

Why did they change indicator idiot lights from yellow to green, on Jap
bikes?

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, John Munro amazed us all with this pearl of
wisdom:

To stop the colour-blind from getting confused.

 

John Munro emerged from their own little world to say

European convention. Green signal, amber low fuel.

As many bikes now have warning lights rather than fuel reserve taps there
might be confusion if the lamps were a similar colour.

Excellent ;-)

 

But they blink on and off, even a colour-blind **** would notice that..

Not if you had an earth fault...

 

I wondered that and could only think that they rationalised to be the same
as cars as most people with two-wheelers would be used to car indicator
warning lights being green...

'course it mucked up my 'neutral' obs for a few months, but at least they
can now use yellow for low fuel instead.....

Dunno. Maybe they had more green lights in stock.

 

All the Italian bikes have always had green Indicator idiot lights IME.
It's prolly a british thing, with the old bikes. What colour are the
'merkin idiot lights for turn signals? Green?
Mind you, they cunts flash their stoplights for indicators, so might not
be the best to ask.

 

TBH if it's not red, I wouldn't worry about it.

Pretty much my philosophy.

Unless it's blinking and going "Awoooogah, Ahwooooogah, AWOOOOOOOGAH!".

Then I worry.

Greet for turn signals and neutral indicator.

Only the cunts that have fender eliminators and integrated signals,
which of course are illegal.

 

That's the thing about LCD displays, a blinking LCD block doesn't catch
yer eye like a big flashing light..

WTF's a fender eliminator?

If I want to eliminate a fender I just take the **** off, no question.

Sounds a bit gay.

Yep. Gay as ****.

Or just undo the bolts.

 

Their fuckin' cars do it though.
