XB-700Li - Circuit Breaker? and more questions...

Hi,
Just got the GF's Blue/Silver XB-700Li today.
Box looked rough; steel frame bent and caved; Bike remarkably intact; One headlamp lens cracked; trunk side panel cracked; a scratch here and there. When I saw the box I was worried, but it wasn't too bad. Time for a support ticket I guess.

Questions:

- Is there a circuit breaker on the 700Li?

- Where is the motor fuse if there is one?

- My key ring had two keys but no "fob" to turn on/off the alarm; have others received a fob?

- How do I activate and deactivate the alarm?

- in the screw bag there is this red thing with a key ring on it and some brass threaded parts; what the ding-dang is this?

- The front drum brake has alot of play between the slot in the hub and the "key" on the fork down-tube. When I brake it kinda clunks. Is this what they all do? Maybe moving the washer will solve this, getting the key deeper in the slot?

Assembly Notes:

- Windshield is brittle; easy to crack when installing the grommets into the holes. Yes, that's how I know.

- Yeah, it's a bear to get that nut on the steering shaft.

- At first my key wouldn't go to the "circle", far-right position and I got no power; tried again in an hour and it then clicked all the way to the right and I had power. I can't imagine these ignitions are very robust; Still probably better than Volkswagen though!

- I love all the storage compartments!

- By the way, the charge connector wiring mistake has been corrected.

Hey speaking of the steering column, is yours kind of "loose" fitting?

Re: XB-700Li - Circuit Breaker? and more questions...

Other than the play between the front hub and the fork, ours is pretty tight.

Are you sure you got the bolt/spacer in properly?

The yoke shaft has a larger hole in front than in back, and the spacer slips down into that from the front, with its concave surface against the shaft coming up from the forks. I noticed that spacer might not find its way to "wrap around" the shaft on its own, so getting it aligned before tightening is the ticket.

That's the only thing I can think of.

Is there vertical play? lateral?

Oh, late thought.... Do you just mean before you've tightened the bolt? Yoke slipped on easily if that's what you mean.
