Subject: Tripmaster Upgrade...........


Hi @'s,

last weekend i improved my `96 AT's tripmaster in reference to the
manual of the XRV-homepage. Due to i did this before
at a friend's `93 RD07 i thought it will be almost the same job..... .
UNFORTUNATELY it wasn't !!.
Let me explain:
Even after removing the wind-shield it is nearly impossible to pull the
tm's plug because of the modified front-mask in 
contrary to the `93 AT, where it's absolutely no problem to pull the
plug with mounted ws.
So, lazy as i am i don't remove my front-mask & start soldering in the
plug-in mode (even bought these micro-small-SMD-resistors),
BUT it won't work subsequently :-((....... . Not able to switch the mode
4, SPEED...
After checking out a few fault-sources i had have a look at the improved
tripmasters printout again, where of course
it is written to disconnect the tripmaster BEFORE soldering. BUT as far
as i know soldering in a connected state won't
kill any device... . 
But the meaning is: -disconnecting the tripmaster RESETS the whole
integrated circuit of th tm (clock is 00:00 ..., ..)
THEN mode 4 is working very, very well >8-)). 
Maybe it will make sense to accentuate this a little bit more at the
homepage... .

Regards & waiting for the spring
