RVF Electrics 70% not working

Post by billnit »

Guys

For some reason some of the electrics on the bike has decided to pack in.

Starter and high beam relay work (clicking and light on the dash working) but everything else - indicators, horn, clock lights don't.

At a loss as to what it could be - wiring is connected from each handlebar switchgear as start and hi beam works. Ignition is fine too, as starts no problems?

Any ideas before i start pulling things apart....

Thanks...

Best to take a look at a wiring diagram.

Most functions need an earth and positive to work, see if there is a common earth between the stuff that is working and the stuff that isn't, etc.

Check all earths (can't remember where they are at the front).

Horn not working would indicate no positive source getting to it, since it's already earthed (mounted). And so on.
