Tyrewarmer issue

[Deano]

Has anyone else had a tyrewarmer cabling burn through the fabric lining while on the tyre ? Mine did on Saturday at Manfeild.

My 'crew' were adament that they were careful putting them on, not to kink them etc, and I checked them each time as well.........cause I can be anal about shit....ask Drew.

I don't want to make a fuss about it with the supplier unless justified - any idea why this may have happened ?

Thermostat not switching them off perhaps ?

The burnt area was not up against the swingarm, or close to the exhaust, and the bike was on stands ????

Confused and not too happy.

Yes Deano, I have seen this before, I dont no the cause and I cant remember the brand of warmer that it was either, but it actually burst into flames while I was sitting next to it.

Do you know if there was any comeback from the supplier ?

I.e. faulty warmer ?

I don't know if I'm being pedantic, but I feel they should last a bit longer than 1.5 meetings before frying.

[Masterchop]

I dont think you are being pedantic, they definitly should last longer than that,
The warmer that I saw catch fire was much older than 1.5 meetings.

Go back to supplier ASAP.

From what I saw Dean, the stitching was just faulty. And has come apart..?
Take it back to where you got them and see if you can both come to an agreement. Im sure it will be sorted so both parties are happy.

These things happen with any product. They importers will have a prosedure for this kind of thing.

P.S. Its not as if you need them anyway!!

It's a faulty tyre warmer, take it back with confidence.

Well,the problem I see Deano,is you didnt buy them from me & the Universe is telling you it was the wrong thing to do
Take the warmer back,get your money back & come & see me!!

I'll be watching this thread with interest Deano. Perhaps you could post up a picture of the affected area.

For others information Deano brought these warmers off me. The front one is much older than the back as I lent them to someone who burnt it out so supplied me with a new one that I have only used 2-3 times/days and Deano only Rnd2 and 3.

My only thought is that the area that burnt may not have been tight against the tyre but can't really see this as causing the damage I saw. A faulty thermostat would have overheated the whole thing.

[Deano]

Garry - I deliberately didn't name names, could you please delete that part of your post ?

I appreciate your help though - and the warmers were always hard against the tyre, I checked them every time.

I can post a pic tomorrow.

Just bring em back to us all our warmers have a full 12 month warranty.

However warranties usually only apply when you buy them new from us and don't apply to second hand goods. But since we are generally nice chaps, I'll send it back to the manufacturer for investigation and supply to a loaner while its away.

As per my PM - thankyou Phil. Appreciate it.

[cowpoos]

another thing that can cause that is having dirt and or mud/stones on the tyre pre putting it on...pays to always wipe the tyre of everything before stick them on...
