e.b.relay kit

[atomsplitter]

I had the recall done on my 2010 Roadster. I took pics of what they did, posted them on here and basically asked the same question "exactly what the recall does?" I never got what I was looking for in which I wanted to hear "same as the EB kit" so I dont have to worry about my ignition switch. lol

Anybody out there can give a better explanation I would appreciate it. I don't want to be stranded somewhere and don't want to buy the EB kit and it's already fixed via the recall. You see what I'm saying?

Get the tech that did the work to give you a one-line diagram (even hand drawn will work) of what the mod is and you'll be able to see pretty quick whether it'll help your ignition switch. If you don't understand electrical schemes post it up and I'll walk you through it.

Ok thanks.... lets try this

and start around post #12...... I posted a diagram on this thread that I drew by hand.

From what I understand the EB method takes the relay switching wire after the ignition and dip switch which means you need two relays, one for high and one for low beam and then takes the power directly from battery thru relay then on to light provideing the a stronger current and therefore Full power to light but only putting a very light load on the ignition and dip switch hence no overheating of contacts

the Recall uses only one relay because it takes the relay switch wire after the ignitionswitch but before the dip switch the relay therefore only draws a light load on ignition switch But then when it takes the power from battery it pumps it thru the dip switch (resistance) before sending it to headlights

think of switch as points of resistance =power strenght loss and also heat build up in the switch, I know I would rather pay for an extra relay get brighter light cos you have less resistance, I could be argued that the dip switch can handle the load and won't burn out ... maybe not any where near as soon and you probally will have sold the bike by then But not me this will be the Last big bike I buy (unless I win the lottery) and plan to make it Last and having bright light to the End

It would be interesting to compare how bright the lights of an earlier vintage Rocket with the EB Kit mod are versus light brightness of a newer Rocket Roadster with the Triumph recall mod. Has anyone with a newer Roadster that has had the mod noticed that their lights got brighter after the mod? Do newer Roadsters have dim yellow lights like older Rockets without the EB relay mod did?

hanso, I understand the EB system, the power by passes all the switches and sends the power straight from the battery to the lights, the recall from whay you say just by passes the ign switch and sends the power to the lights via the dipper switch only.

The recall will take the power draw away from the ign switch but not be as good as the EB system in supplying full voltage to the lights.

Do I have this right.

I have just had the relay recall done to my Roadster, have not done any night riding to be able to comment, but as soon as I have I will post a report.

thanks for all the info looks like i'll be ordering the kit as soon as possible, just hope i can install it myself i'm not very confident when it comes to electrics but i'll have a go

Does anyone exactly what recall upgrade does to the Roadster, I had mine done last week, it took the dealer about 2 hours to do but they could not tell me exactly what the recall does.

Did you ask about drive train noise?
