Aaaaaaaah. and the lord said let there be light. Deep joy here in the garage. I cant say a big enough THANKYOU for all the advice from you good folk, its really spurred me on and more than that it's identified the root of the problem. Faulty start switch it was! I did the continuity test across the blue/white and black/red and that was a big wide open. No matter what else I did the juice wasnt geting past there. I picked up a second hand unit from a breakers, after testing it the same way on his shopbench, then got home connected it up and got a rosy glow. So its boots on for me tomorrow. Need to put some miles on it to recharge my battery... and the bikes' too. Once again thanks.

Well, the relay turned up this morning. Sparkly and new thanks to blackbirdspares.co.uk. Plugged it in, turned her on and.....nothing. Tank is coming off tonight and further cable fettling required. Thanks to everybody for their ideas and tips, northman, jrdxx et al. Wish me luck.

Thanks for your advice on this one. I will get the circuit tester out again! Still no sign of the new relay...

Im getting 12v accross the outer two terminals feeding into the relay so with a bit of luck a new unit may sort it. If it doesnt Im back to headscratch mode. Electrickery - the work of the devil! cheers.

Hi. Im new to this forum game so excuse me if Im a bit wooden getting going. Anybody had experience with blown headlight bulbs? Ive got through two sets in a week and have replaced the reg/rec, (was giving 18-19v @2000rpm) and a new battery. Checked as much wiring as I can without performing a full post mortem and still I cant get juice to the headlight bulb connector. (Fuses all ok) Im pinning hopes on a headlight relay which I ordered from the good folk at www.blackbirdspares.co.uk but in the meantime if anybody has any good tips I'd be grateful. Cheers. :?:
