Tyre warmer problem?

[Rodney007]

Hey guys,

a month or so ago i bought some warmers (190/120) non-digital with two simple led lights,

orange for warming, and green for ready
First time i used them last thursday at taupo,

the rear goes orange and heats up then light turns green when ready and holds heat.
the front goes orange then after a while a green light starts flashing
and the warmer starts to loose heat,until you unlug and re-plug it in.

is this normal? anyone else had anyissues with them?

It's obviously not normal. They should keep their heat. Will you be at Manfeild this weekend? we can have a quick look at them. What brand are they?

Say it has a thermostat problem ! If it's definately losing heat, it be a warrantee thing and replace it !!!
If ya know of anyone with a laser thermo thingy for checking the temp of things, borrow it to make sure yr warmers are within the correct temp range, seeing ya don't have the digi read out !
I'm in the same boat where i have no real idea what temp my tyres are when i take the warmers off so gonna get me one of them temp guages !!

I have one of those IR heat sensors. You can borrow this weekend if you like.

I've got two diff types of LED warmers. Both are red while heating and green when ready. (not flashing)
