@Surfer...

Ofcourse I ment ONLY during the time you are trying to solve a short circuit problem..
Absolute not to use it as a solution !

Noted dude . Nothin wrong with a bit of wire and a bulb in fault finding as a cheap alternative to a meter.

My angst came from a past experience. I had someone hard wire a fuse that kept blowing in an effort to help me out, all it did was to pass the problem along the circuit to blow the light checker. Turned out an expensive experience for me. All it took was to sit down and study what was going on and figure out the why, took ages but man was it a simple fix in the end.

it aint rocket science dude --pull the tank off .There is a short ---go digging till ya find it.

That is the best method, as has been said, there appears to be a wiring fault, so yes a careful, thorough approach is needed, I have in the past split a wiring loom to find where the cables had been squashed together, can take a few hours but sometimes is the only way.

Start at the indicator switch, dismantle and check there are no broken or shorted wires, then trace the curcuits back through the loom, as painful as it may sound, metre each wire, try flexing them as well just in case there is an internal break in the wire. A broken wire can mean the current will try to find an alternative return path causing all sorts of strange things,

I am sure you have seen a trailer that the lights do all sorts of wierd stuff when the indicators and brakes are on together, usually due to a poor earth connection.

So what was the problem in the end?

[Morcs]

A pin somewhere or other was bent onto another pin somewhere or other.

There was 1 piece left over when they put the bike back together... waiting for it to fall apart

[Morcs]

Farking Honda electrics. Buggered again.

Low beam, speedo and both indicators now gone. Bugger.

[surfer]

Check your fuses for this one

[Morcs]

Check your fuses for this one

Fuses are all good. Its always first port of call. Indicator relays dont even go. It cant be the main fuse either as the bike runs and everything.

Damn electrics. Anyone want a go at it?

[skidMark]

arg....bring it round then...just leave ur lights on high beam...cmon

ugh.

hondas....
