Hi all, Anyone else runing a posh firm red rev V- box on there bike.

When I plug it in the temp guage goes up to red as soon as the ignition is switched on, Is there a way around this?

Bin the booster, that should not hapen on an MC21! Do the wire splice instead.

There's no way any kind of booster should affect the temp gauge, as that circuit comes from the positive, through a thermal resistor on the thermostat housing, to the gauge and back to earth. How the hell the restrictor is doing that I don't know, but can only assume it's creating some kind of short circuit.

Sounds bad to me! Shocked
