Glad to hear it's working!
Welcome to the exclusive club of running twostroke EFI owners :-)

Maybe one additional hint in advance of the next upcoming issue:
I always had problems with the battery discharging on longer rides as headlight, fuel pump, DC CDI summed up to quite some required electric performance.
My workaround was a second battery that could be switched on/off when needed.

I tried a xenon light with just 35W but that was too obvious for law enforcement staff and I switched back to 55W H4.
Led bulbs are also forbidden over here and as easy to spot as xenon.

Latest legal opportunities in Germany allow a daytime riding light instead of the standard headlight.

It only draws 3.5W!
Had that mounted last weekend and on the next ride it was the first time since years that I saw a 14 on the voltmeter.

The second opportunity to save precious electric energy is a PWM pump controller like this:

Unfortunately he doesn't do them at the moment...

Thanks. I found and bought this Puig Lumen LED headlight. It has an "E" mark which makes it road legal here in Denmark. It only uses 13 Watts with position and running light. It is a little smaller diameter (175mm) but is still able to house all the wiring connectors. :smt041

Nice find jumjum. Will you please reply back with the exact model of Puig headlight that is? It looks like they have many.

Also the little turn signals.

That is really a beautiful bike! Very photogenic.

Thanks :smt048 The headlight is model Puig 1944N. The turn signals are homemade. I printed them on my 3Dprinter and used some LEDs from old trailer taillights.
