ghutton Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I just purchased a new 4RT Repsol Replica and none of the street lights work. (Head light, Tail light, turn signals, horn, etc.) What do I need to check??? (the dealer did replace the stock ignition with the HRC programmable ignition from the Repsol kit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandifords Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 No - THAT IS CORRECT - THE HRC KIT MAKES THE BIKE "COMPETITION" SPEC. AND THEREFORE NOT A "ROAD" MACHINE AND AS SUCH THE LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK WITH THE PROGRAMMABLE THROTTLE BODY FITTED. CONTACT YOUR DEALER AGAIN IF YOU WANT IT SWOPPING BACK OVER.

stuessenhigh Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 mmmmm...now thats good service..and impressive, to have a reply from Sandifords as quick as that....good on ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolcevita Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Sorry, but this is NOT CORRECT, at least not here in Italy! What does it has to do the remappable ECU or the carbon parts or the Renthal handelbars with the street lights? I've been offered a Repsol replica, and even if at the end I went for a standard '06 model, the Repsol also was "street legal" here, at least on the papers, and the lights were perfectly working!

rapid roy Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 i would be interested in sandifords response it seems logicial that a throttle body would not make a difference part of the wireloom is removed to unrestricted the bike maybe this is the prob!

rhaines Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) The repsol rep comes with a carbon fibre headlight so surely the brake light should work as well if you wired it in.Dougie and fujis bikes both have programmable ecus and these headlights and I assume they work or why would they have the excess weight on the bike!?

dixie Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Why would you want lights anyway? I rode mine for about five hours last week and could hardly get off it not exactly a comfy road bike???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa. Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Working lights are a requirement for the TdN and I think the World Championships is I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixie Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 P.A Do people who compete in the tdn and world champs acctually buy there own bikes? I would have thought the works mechanic would get there lights working for them not ask how to do it on a forum??? Luckilly at club level here in the uk at least we do not require working lights.

ham2 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) The thing is that private owners can do what they like to their bikes BUT if you have an accident and try to seek compensation from HONDA, then they will say that it has to be standard showroom condition before they will even think about reading the details concerned. But if its non-standard (non-showroom) then you have NO CHANCE! Right then so think about it....did your REPSOL come supplied by HONDA (not the dealer but the importer) with the HRC ECU?
