Confirms what I have thought all along, it seems strange to fit the elecrronics in such a hot space when there is plenty of space elsewhere that is more environmentally friendly to mount it. I suspect many electronic components are not rated at the temperature that the recess achieves. Just like the reason oil is changed more often, as the temperature it works at is greater than in a water cooled engine.
After 15 years of the Boyer with no problems ( I personally have never met another commando owner that has experienced a Boyer failure, and yes, I am member of the NOC ) the solution was simple, check the cable runs have slack to move, are not pulled tight or trapped anywhere on their run, and a small blob of silicon where the cables enter the ignition timing recess ensuring that there is ample cable or drip loop to allow for engine movement.
These are simple things that I have learnt from being on ships with raft / shock mounted electronic equipment.
 
Highdesert,

Sorry you took this personally. There is a large literature available on electrical MTTF and temperature, and I would be happy to help you get to it, if you are interested. If you really believe that I was impuning the TriSpark circuit, then you ought to give my post another read. The problem with the curremt TriSpark is the location of the module, not the module circuit. The assumption in the post was that the circuit was a good as it could be.

And yes, you should expect a few hundred hours of operation before failure. Just follow the curve.
 
Rick, nope I did not take your conclusions personally.

I believe you have already been proven wrong.

Certainly it is safe to assume that many trispark mounted bikes have well in excess of 200 hours on them already and there has been no wave of reported angry users whose units have now failed.


And britbike? Since you chose to mention it first, I feel the same way about reasoning with you as you do about me!

No big deal is it?
 
Nice topic going on here. Would anyone have a close up picture to post on how they vented their cover?
Trying to get some ideas on how to do a spare cover for my Tri-Spark.

Thanks for the replys

highdesert, I feel as though you are watching an entirely different movie, perhaps in an alternate universe where emotionless people roam the streets on trispark powered brains longing for something, but not knowing what it is, perhaps a boyer or pazon, but not sure none the less. I seriously don't know what you are talking about dude, but you do need to face East and take a deep breath. Please tell me where I said anything about reasoning with "you". It's your money, your bike and I could care less if you buy a hundred trisparks and go around the country preaching the EI gospel to all that you can fool into listening, but as of now for this topic just chill dude, chill.........ya don't have to like me or my opinion, but I'm gonna state it just like everyone else, AAAAAAAmen.

Horton, you need a little shine on those cases, looks like plastic. Just an opinion, don't take it personally....

Dave, Horton's bike needs to be viewed in it's entirety as a concept, in which the black, green and matte finish are in keeping with the total aesthetic.
 
I like the cover and the blasted cases. I think that is the cleanest bike I have seen and would love to see better pictures of the whole package.
 
I've seen Horton's bike in person. It is very sharp looking. Not just another Commando.

I think he could have gotten by with a couple 1/4 inch holes for cooling though. Jim
 
OK, OK, I stand down. I won't even say anything in Gorn.
