I have found that turn signals require full voltage to operate. Try testing with the engine at a fast idle or with a charger connected to the battery. You may also need to clean up wiring connections to the flasher.

Partzilla seems to have the rubber bits for the gauges in stock.

Thank you Jim. Worked great. Gary

Hello, I need to send a PM to a member and am not sure how to do it. Is there a guide someone can point me to? Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. Both bikes were charging fine. (Voltmeters on both) I didn't check the air filters but 1 runs pods and the other is stock with good filters. I could see the pods getting soaked but I don't see how that much water could infiltrate the stock filters. Something to test...

Hi Evan, The JIS stands for Japan Industrial Standard. The P40 describes the size. I don't remember the specific material of these but it was brake fluid rated. I'll drop it in tomorrows mail. Gary

The XS650 O-ring is a JIS P40. If you have the same size master cylinder, let me know your address and I can mail you one. I bought a bunch when I needed them.
