Wyvern 4-into-4. No center stand.

Good news is that we had sunshine this morning, so in spite of the cold I rugged up and used the bike to commute. Speedo works perfectly!!

Good to know as to me the whole point of this forum is to help each other enjoy our passions.

Well spotted. I saw that yesterday and wondered the same. Figure I should get the voltmeter out later and check it out...
This little sucker?

I wonder what it’s powering? Odometer memory?

Although it looked like a battery in the other pic, this closeup makes it look like something else. Quite what though, I haven't a clue. It looks as though it has a central terminal?? Searching "BCZV" under "Electronics" yields nothing.

I think it may be a button capacitor.

Maybe a sort of "super cap"?

The terminal looks somewhat hardy.

I can confirm that it is not a battery, there was no residual voltage on the board.

Yes, GO, a button type supercap.

After all this write up and based on pics Nine needs a new bike

Nine's got a new bike.

What I need now is a new project...

Sounds like a great name for a model of motorcycle.
