Put my inner dash in, screen on, all nice shiny screws, new rubber well nuts everywhere, about to put side panels on, I thought I better try out me lights and that.
Lights worked, meters suspiciously dead, unresponsive and unlit. Why ? because the spanner man forgot to plug in the meter pod
So I had to take it all apart again, dammit.

DRL's going on.

wire through a relay so lights can only be on if side lights are on taking the relay coil feed from side light circuit. Plus a switch in coil feed of relay to switch off if you want to. Fuse at 3 amps power from battery as close to battery as possible. I used 10 amp wiring for feeds so I can upgrade to Cree lights later on. The cheap chinky lights I use also as machine lights on lathe and miller using a 12 volt supply.
A job they do very well for hours on end.

No issues with the plastic tool tubes on the TDM, on the RE they sit much further out in the crash bars. It's worth knowing a 0.47 litre Stanley Classic flask and a 1litre alloy drink bottle fit inside the tool tubes exactly.
The flask can save time at coffee stops. Buy a big coffee to go and fill up flask. Drink whats left over. Next stop no queuing up.
Start with flask full and hot each day. I did this in Spain and it saved me loads of cash. On the RE, the right side had 1 litre of engine oil in alloy fuel bottle as Ruby drinks oil a bit in hot weather.
On the TDM oil is not needed, so one is water the other coffee.
Tools go in another tube under topbox rack above tail light.

Also fitted a new Surflex complete clutch kit both friction and plain plates, plus a new cable today.
This should stop the screaming on take off. The old friction plates measure at almost service limit.
Old cable was on it's last two threads inside the curved tube at the top stopping the lever returning properly.
Don't know why, it's been lubed each year without fail with a cable oiler.

.....It's worth knowing a 0.47 litre Stanley Classic flask .....
With or without a handle?
I did not know about these so did a Google to see two different versions.
ADD I've followed the links and it seems only larger sizes have a handle - your 0.47l size is the smallest and handle-free.

without handle, for flask, mileage on clutch is 30,500. I think cable sticking has been causing slip as some of the plain plates are blued.
I want to make sure it's in tip top fettle for the Picos de Europa, as I have to keep up with younger brother on his mighty 1200 Crosstourer. His mate is on a Pan Euro 1300.
