Hi
I have a 2015 Breakout since 10 months
the RPM goes too high with too much fuel consumption with high engine temperature


the dealer's workshop checks the RPM by the computer and found the RPM status is too high
they reset the program and the RPM status gets normal
but then the RPM status gets too high again
when I change the gear to the 6th with speed 120 km/h and release the throttle, a huge sound comes out from the exhaust ( bom bom bom )


the dealer has no idea how to solve the problem, and ultimately he said this is the normal situation !!!


any idea how to fix this?


sorry for my poor English

 

Merry Xmas everyone. Lots of time off this week so I decided to mess around with creating "stealth" mini front turn signals using the newest type of ultra bright T10 LED bulbs. I had an extra pair since I bought 4 of them for my Nissan Frontier.

Anyway, this took me a whole whopping 20 minutes to install (I had already removed the stock turn signals and tucked the wires back into the handlebars).

Parts needed: solder, 26 gauge wire scrap (about 16"), heat shrink, 3M automotive trim double stick tape, acrylic conformal coating. If you are removing your stock turn signals you'll need new bolts to hold the mirrors.

LED Bulbs used (comes as a pair for $11): www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RYT02WQ
Acrylic Conformal Coating (use this to waterproof any electronics- seriously excellent stuff with many uses, $11):
The process is pretty easy. I first dipped the bulbs into the conformal coating and let them dry. I dip all of my led auto bulbs into that stuff and they never fail from moisture. this stuff makes them completely water proof.

Next, solder some thin wire scrap onto the left and right pads of the LED bulbs- each piece of wire should be about 4" long. thin flexible 24/26 ga silicon wire is best like the kind used on RC quadcopters. You can use all black wires because these bulbs can be hooked up any direction, there is no set + and - direction. You'll connect the wires from the bulbs to the black and purple stock wires, solder, use heat shrink to cover the connection, then tuck the wires back into the wire channels under the handlebar controls. It is very self explanatory once you look at it. Use 3M body trim tape to stick the bulbs up under the handlebar controls. done.

Summary: $22 in parts if you also buy the coating dip, and 30 mins to 1hr to complete.

These LEDs are extremely bright and highly visible even in full sun- they will shine forward and directly downward once mounted.

From normal distance the led turn signal bulbs are pretty invisible:


Closer shot of the mounting locations- they just stick underneath on the flat areas of the handlebar controls and these locations are adjacent to the wiring outlet channels


Brightness of turn signal in daytime- sorry my headlight is washing out the photo- I have an 80w LED bulb retrofitted into the stock housing and it is stupid bright.

 

Pretty neat. Those mirrors are cool looking.

 

Blinkers look awesome, nice work

 

Thanks- And they work really well too- Good Italian glass and craftsmanship, no vibration. I got the idea from Thunderbike, they had put a chrome set on a customized CVO Breakout. They are the Rizoma Circuit 851 mirrors- you can order them with the correct mirror stems for Harley. Here is one online HD parts place that sells them- get the model number then price shop online. http://www.harleycustom.com/Prod-Riz...11-68-883.html

 

Thank you- and welcome to the forum!

 

Thanks for the welcome. Been trolling since I picked up my bike in June. Have to say, your BO is the best looking one I've seen. Definitely my style and the direction I'm going with mine.

 

Thanks brother, very kind of you. you know it's funny we all start out here the same way - trolling the forums, get new bike, spend money on mods. This forum can cause you to spend lots of money though so be careful

PS google for "Thunderbike Breakout" - i got a lot of my mod inspirations from their designs.

 

Yeah, it's definitely expensive owning a BO.

Thanks, I'll definitely look that bike up.

Any suggestions on levers? I posted in another thread but haven't gotten any responses. Harley doesn't have anything contrast cut for BO levers.

 

These are the ones I got off ebay- scroll down at that link and check the model fitment- search ebay for contrast cut levers and just make sure they have the same fitment. I don't think there was any change between 2013 and 2015/2016 levers.

I think RSD, Performance Machine and Ness make some super nice contrast cut lever and control sets- very pricey though.
