Electrical faults
My speedo stopped about 3 weeks ago so i just left it as i didn't have time to take it to the mechanics. 2 weeks later i'm riding home and i lose my indicators, tail/ brake light and lighting for my dash. So i ride it to the mechanics and by then i've lost my headlight too. Great.
Not to worry easy fix it was just a fuse! Sweet.
This morning it all happenned again. Not ferkin happy at all.
Has anyone encountered anything similar to this?
Or is it just my bike that's being a pain in the arse?

Re: Electrical faults
With my RVF it's got an RCV style fairing on it so every time you wanna check out the fuses it's a complete fairing off affair! They clearly didn't think of accessability when designing it!
I can't seem to be able to post pics of it....
So anyway the first time/ repair my mech said everything seemed to be in order when he replaced the fuse.
This time he's gonna check out EVERYTHING to find the cause.
Had to do a death mission to get to my mechs last night in peak hour traffic, no sunlight, no indicators, rear light/ brake light or any dash lights! And it was pouring down last night too.
Stupid fricken bike.
