dave dix Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Start it up and check with a meter for ac volts but i cannot see what is wrong with a battery one as long as its loud enough Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idmcc_sec Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Your MOT tester is wrong the audible warning device (horn) requires to emit a constant note regardless which way it's powered. There is no stipulation that it should run from the bikes' electrical system. Regs HERE D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Ask around in your area for an MOT tester that knows and tests trials bikes, might be easier to get a pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then plugged a cheap horn into the live headlight wire and used an old kill switch to operate it on the earth side. Here's an example fo a cheap horn.

shercosi Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 AS it turns out chaps the soultion is really quite simple. If you remove the tank and have a dig in about in the wires above the radiator you will find 2 wires about 2" long 1 blue 1 yellow which come out of the harness together with right angled spade conectors on end all you need is a 12v horn ideally from a trials lighting kit as the supply is A.C. I have used one from a montesa kit and this gives a reasonable sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
