Can someone tell me what this is?

[nudedaytona]

This 'direct power system' thingy was attached to my bikes battery. Can anyone tell me what is is? I asked an auto sparky and he said it might be a regulator to reduce voltage spikes. Photos are attached. It's pretty light, not sure if it does anything at all.

Google is your friend (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t149285.html).

The stupidity of suckers who spend money on products aimed at the 'voodoo chicken' vehicle tuning market never ceases to amaze me.

But it's made by "Exceed and Trusty"
It sounds trustworthy :whistle:

But not only that, it's "New Technology", and "High Performance". Being Version 2 (with the New! IMPROVED!! red sticker), it's also got all the bugs ironed out.

I want one, but I'll wait for version 3.x, which is rumoured to have the latest Snake Oil cooling system. :niceone:

Well, straight to the bin with that then!

[James Deuce]

Yep. Definitely a black box with some cable looped around in it.

... a regulator to reduce voltage spikes.

Yes, batteries are well known for producing voltage spikes.

:confused:

[James Deuce]

Slow decaying inverse voltage spikes. Ahem.

[vifferman]

Well, straight to the bin with that then!
Or stick it on TardMe with a $20 reserve. :whistle:

Might be an idea, not sure where I put it though

Well, the "Performance" section of parts (car or bike), obviously. :yes:
After all, it does say "High Performance" on it, innit?

I see the boys are being ever so helpful.............. :confused: :blink:


The way I see it, is that if it came hooked up to your bike, then never question its use and just leave it there..... it is there for a reason..... and what that reason is, we may never ever know.......


Or else go and ask a bike sparky.......

I could mock, but I won't.

Did you read what I linked to, crashe?

This particular item does nothing. It's pure snake oil; a device that has no effect whatsoever, which was sold by a ripoff company that only operated for a few weeks in each of its target markets.

Is there such a thing - can you recommend one?

Any decent workshop will have a full understanding of the electrical system of the bikes they service.

Thank goodness.

I was having paranoid visions of you going senile after falling off and landing on your head while riding without a helmet.
