He and Jean are in N'Awlins with a stranded Pegaso.

It started popping fuses whever he switched on high beam. He fiddled
with it at a campsite and reckoned it was fixed, but it then started
popping fuses every time he switched it on.

It's been in what must be the only Aprilia dealer for miles since
yesterday or the day before, while they try and get to the bottom of it.

Didn't they have a blog or something - anybody got a link?

 

It appears from his blog that US bike dealers don't do metric....

I'm finding it quite funny that the Pegaso shares an engine with my
Tenere and also appears to be sharing certain electrical gremlins with
it.

 

OTOH, my local Harley dealer was the only shop in town that had a
diaphragm for my Kawi KLR carb in stock, and the parts guy knew
exactly what it was and which drawer it was in. YMMV 'n all that.

 

Quote:

The man who said he would look at my bike, did, it was one look,
followed by "What sort of bike is that ? I thought it would be a Harley,
I'm not going to start looking at that."

He then sent us to the Harley dealer, saying they worked on all sorts of
bikes. The Harley dealer took one look at the bike and said, "Its a
metric, we don't work on metrics".

Now, Jean and I were stood there thinking the same thing, "does
electricity work in different units in the US?"

1) This is yank land, where they do not understand "metric" bikes

2) See blog

3) It was in the dash, which was sending a lot of "strange" errors, so
sometimes it was fixed.... and then it wasn't. I now have some nice
bypass circuitry.

4) And a secondary error was on the tail light/plate light, so that as
been removed.

 

In fairness the Yam dealer was willing to do it, but his "tech" was in
Vegas until Friday night... at a "conference"

 

Having had the loom opened up and inspected, thoroughly, am happy with
the wiring.

As the gremlin appears to be in the *very* electronic dash, I think you
ar maligning the wrong item while armed with the wrong information

 

Some yanks are more open than others, he was busy, if he had not been I
think he would have gone for it.

 

Aye, but the engine is stonking, isn't it

 

Not made by Renault, is it?

 

FIAT.

 

Fix It Again, Toni....

I thought it was Fix It Again Tomorrow.

That was my original theory.

Dealers of US motorbikes

Yet in 2007 a HD dealer in Eureka City ,Ca, was happy to do the tyres on
the XJR and a RF900.
