Replacing a Honda Zoomer Flasher Unit
Short video showing me investigating indicators that work only when they feel like it, and the subsequent replacement of the flasher unit. For some reason I seem to stumble when speaking English in this vid..

    Even though my Aprilia is a great scoot I do miss the wee Zoomer. Heard from it’s new owner last week, he’s using it daily in all weathers and it had just sailed through it’s latest MOT. One day I shall get another one just for fun.

    Great to see your Zoomer again, makes me a bit misty eyed for mine. Could be the relay has gone if all the indicators are out, easy and cheap fix. The posties were among the neglected heroes of the pandemic so hope you and your colleagues get what you deserve 👍

  • @scottishzoomer
    @scottishzoomer ปีที่แล้ว

    I wouldn’t be too hard on yourself over the bolt, chances are it would have sheared off whoever was unlucky enough to get it that day, amateur of mechanic, it was just ready to go. I made plenty mistakes on the Zoomer which knocked me back, but then determination took hold as I hate being beaten 😄 The low you feel doing something wrong is equalled by the high you get fixing it. TH-cam is your friend for all problems like this, there will be a myriad of good ideas out there. Hope you get it sorted.

  • @misterdove

    I sheared the head off a very rusty bolt while working on my bike a few years ago. Was able to get it out with a £5 "easy out" kit off eBay. They're like drill bits, but with threads going the opposite way so as they dig into the bolt they're also turning it the right way to loosen it. There's loads of vids on here. Hope that helps.

    • @hondazoomerbristol2012

      Yes thanks, it does. I have a set of those easy outs now, but haven't given them a go yet in case I muck it up some how and then a pro won't be able to help! I'm going to deliberately break some bolts in various things and practice a bit before attacking the bike :)

    Would be nice if you had to get up on your legs a bit to help absorb a bump in the road right? I was going to use those holes as a quick lock up point for short term..

    • @hondazoomerbristol2012
      @hondazoomerbristol2012 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I can stand on them, although I'm not necessarily brave enough to go far while doing so, scary! I don't think it would absorb the bumps the way standing on the pedals while cycling does though. I cut a hole in the floor panel for locking purposes. It's just a small hole under the seat, but it locks the whole frame to a bike stand for example.

  • @scottishzoomer

    Happy New Year! Appreciate the shout out. I'm sure the PTFE tape will help. maybe cut the knob off when you decide to do it. Just a friendly reminder not to mix the color of the coolant fluid. If so drain the fluid and put in a different color fluid. As for the lights we have LED headlights in house with low and high beam. They are much brighter, but I heard it might not pass your MOT.

      @hondazoomerbristol2012 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've always had fuel problems with it, mostly as I say not quite running correctly when the temperature either drops or is hot. It tends to cut out when I'm waiting at lights. (surprised a cyclist the other day when it cut out and I pressed the horn rather than the start button!) When I bought it it ran a bit rough and I cured it simply by filling it up with new petrol. So I think it just needs me to pay it a bit of attention! A good clean.

      @@hondazoomerbristol2012 hmmm, interesting. I wonder if it could be a fuel line needing replaced, or an issue with the fuel pump. It has a kind of tea bag thing attached to it that the fuel filters through, might need a clean. I always add STP Moto Booster to every fuel top up. It’s designed to clean the fuel system and engine on FI machines. A bottle lasts for ages as you only put a capful in for every 5 litre top up.
