    Um the light cutout solenoid isn't buggered is it?
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Earth (or the Earth) is the third planet from the Sun, and the fifth-largest of the eight planets in the Solar System. It is also the largest, most massive, and densest of the Solar System's four terrestrial (or rocky) planets. It is sometimes referred to as the World, the Blue Planet,[note 3] or Terra.[note 4]

    Home to millions of species,[11] including humans, Earth is the only place in the universe where life is known to exist. The planet formed 4.54 billion years ago,[12] and life appeared on its surface within a billion years. Since then, Earth's biosphere has significantly altered the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer which, together with Earth's magnetic field, blocks harmful radiation, permitting life on land.[13] The physical properties of the Earth, as well as its geological history and orbit, allowed life to persist during this period. The world is expected to continue supporting life for another 1.5 billion years, after which the rising luminosity of the Sun will eliminate the biosphere.[14]

    Earth's outer surface is divided into several rigid segments, or tectonic plates, that gradually migrate across the surface over periods of many millions of years. About 71% of the surface is covered with salt-water oceans, the remainder consisting of continents and islands; liquid water, necessary for all known life, is not known to exist on any other planet's surface.[note 5][note 6] Earth's interior remains active, with a thick layer of relatively solid mantle, a liquid outer core that generates a magnetic field, and a solid iron inner core.

    Earth interacts with other objects in outer space, including the Sun and the Moon. At present, Earth orbits the Sun once for every roughly 366.26 times it rotates about its axis. This length of time is a sidereal year, which is equal to 365.26 solar days.[note 7] The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.4° away from the perpendicular to its orbital plane,[15] producing seasonal variations on the planet's surface with a period of one tropical year (365.24 solar days). Earth's only known natural satellite, the Moon, which began orbiting it about 4.53 billion years ago, provides ocean tides, stabilizes the axial tilt and gradually slows the planet's rotation. Between approximately 4.1 and 3.8 billion years ago, asteroid impacts during the Late Heavy Bombardment caused significant changes to the surface environment.

    Both the mineral resources of the planet, as well as the products of the biosphere, contribute resources that are used to support a global human population. The inhabitants are grouped into about 200 independent sovereign states, which interact through diplomacy, travel, trade and military action. Human cultures have developed many views of the planet, including personification as a deity, a belief in a flat Earth or in Earth being the center of the universe, and a modern perspective of the world as an integrated environment that requires stewardship.

    Merry Christmas Guys!!!

    ok so I got my headlight working... FINALLY!!! turns out the was a wire i must of accidentally cut while hooking my light up. So I put it all together and tested it one last time before I put it all together but then everything stopped working as I put the wires back on the headlight... arrrghhh... what next??? anyone got any ideas??? I reckon its a fuse but have no idea where the fuse box is. It aint under the seat.. ya reckon its under the tank???

    dude you answered ya own question really.
    somewhere something is unplugged or theres a break in the wire
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    I'm not quite sure what your asking. Are you saying you fixed the problem, or you fixed the cut wire and now there is a new problem because "everything stopped working"? What is "everything"?

    What actually is not working, specifically? e,g. You turn on the ignition key, head light turns on, you press the starter button, hear it turn over, but the engine fails to start.

    ok... Yes there is a new problem... EVERYTHING HAS STOPPED WORKING. No dashlight, no power to tick her over, no headlight, no indicators.. NOTHING! I can crash start though then everything comes to life. Might just take her to the bike hospital I think!

    If it's a twin gs500, I may be wrong, but I believe you mighta shorted a wire somewhere and blew the main or ignition fuse. The fuse box is most likely down on the left hand side under the skirting fairing just below the seat. If it doesn't actually have a box, it will have the main fuse sitting next to the solenoid/cdi, around that area. I think it may have shorted to earth on one of the wires possibly being pinched in behind the headlight. Check all the wires behind it are insulated and connections are in the right places. Just a theory, happy to be proved wrong. If it keeps blowing fuses and you're sure it's something to do with the headlight, put everything together except actual light (as in leave the black plastic holder on, but dis the front part that holds the light) take batter terminal off and test resistance to earth on the high and low beam wires, that will say if your headlight is shorting enough power to blow a fuse, but not enough to stop the bike running when it actually starts. PM me if you want a hand, just have a multi meter there. There's also a bloke in dinsdale kb name Warr - he's pretty damn on to it as far as bike electrics go.
