Hi all,
First of all, Hi! I've said hello in the Newbies forum, and today picked up a brand new 400 K4 and am smitten already.
Two things I'd like to run by you..
By design, my dipped beam is on all the time. I cannot switch it off. Although I recognise the obvious safety feature of displaying a dipped main beam all the time, it slightly annoys me that I don't have a choice. I notice that at the bottom centre of the headlight, between the two main bulbs, is a small lit bulb which was clearly designed as a minor running light anyway, I would have preferred that to be on permanently with the headlights left to my discretion. Does anyone know whether all the UK spec models have had this or of earlier ones had the option to turn the headlights off? I would gladly source the earlier switchgear if it's not too difficult a wiring task.
Secondly, I have read in earlier posts that the K4 differed to the K3 in having an adjustable interval oil change light, and swing away glove box covers. Well I have the swing out covers (making the Burg' look like a Viggen!) but my handbook gives no instructions on changing the oil light interval, it merely instructs on how to re-set it after the oil change. I'm hoping that I have a K3 Instruction Manual, other than a stored unsold K3 bike.... The Manual states the interval is preset at initially 600, then 3600 miles thereafter. Can anyone tell how to change the interval? ( I'd like to knock it down to 500 then every 2000).
Hmmmm, what else. My seat doesn't automatically rise when I turn the key, I guess it just needs loosening up. And yes, the screen is much too small. Great for summer in the city, but I reckon around October I'll be buying a bigger screen.
Cheers all,
Dave
