electrical problemo

Post by **Leanne_zxr** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 12:32 pm

hiya everyone,

ive got an issue with my bike well lots but im addressing one at a time

basically bikerz noticed my rear light wasnt working (not the brake light the side light) so checked the bulbs and checked all the wires and earthing upto the fuse box no problems as all, i rode my bike a bit then one day i started it up and the front lights stopped working all together! but the back light started working!? ive got no main beam or sidelights, i checked the bulbs one of the siidelights has blown but the other is fine,

thanks to jamz ive put a different fise box in as i thought this might be the problem as mine wasnt to clever but ive still got the problem and am all out of ideas, so any help would be much appreciated,

thanks

Leanne

sounds like an earthing problem somewhere?

Theres an earth just in front of the shock, right by the fuel pump, and theres one on the top of the crank case also. Leanne, do i remember you saying about a loose green wire once?? Maybe thats your problemo.

Theres the one by the shock, havent got a pic of the one on the engine. But its just a bolt that undoes from the casing, in fact i think theres two, you want the one without the rubber cap on top.

hey rob,

when you sorted the carbs out there was a loose yellow and black wire which andy said was the battery earth and he attached it back where it should be, thanks for the info on where those other earthing points are, i will check them all tomorow,

will let you know how i get on,
