Vibration issues
New to this forum and just reading this thread, handbags at 30 paces or what?
I ride a bandit 1200, well noted for vibration through the bars, coincidentally where I've mounted my 660. Any who, whilst Googlin' last month i spotted an article about the early 550's wearing holes in the contact points between unit and supplied mount, Garmin not suprisingly wouldn't admit liability for any replacements but did eventually change the supplied mounting bracket. Unfortunately I dont have the url but it's there on Google somewhere if you look it up.
On that basis i got a
Touratech mount and fitted my Zumo to that, my arms still go numb at the waist and I can't see anything in the mirrors but the Zumo is happy and no signs of vibration wear on the contact points.
Hope this is of help JasonC as I know your little oil burner will vibrate a fair bit, hope this helps and that one day when you grow up you'll get a proper motorbike with a real engine
Just kidding, best of luck with the final outcome and that petrol to oil ratio thing
.
PS, the Touratech thing, money WELL spent with excellent support!
P.PS.
Electrics on oil lantern, wire in a secondary charging circuit with an auxillary charging relay for caravan battery charging, it'll protect your bike wiring and charge your second battery only when the engine is running so no flat batteries! I have an auxillary charge cuircuit on the 12 for the phone & GPS with an additional fag lighter socket for other stuff. Don't overload your magneto tho', i've got over 140 horses on tap
for my alternator as apposed to your two butch mice
