No Headlights
 

On the way to the Selkent meet I joined the M25, and noticed it was a touch darker then I remembered. So I pulled over, to realise that I had no headlights, not one gone but both, and the parking light too.
So, what to do?
On the side of the M25 I start pulling the bike apart, first checking the fuses, which are all fine. Try whacking the front of the bike, but this does nothing, so panels off time. After a little fiddling I get the lights back, but the not the parking light, odd. So after a quick chat with the Motorway Patrol man, I put the bike back together and get going again, and pull off at the next junction. As I was heading down this dark road the light flicker off a few more times, so I bail for home, hoping not to end up anywhere to dark.
On the journey home the bike stalls and will only start with the lights off, rather odd.

So in all I suspect iffy connection block on the right hand side again, with the bad light I couldn't get a good look, but I have put the panels back on with only 2 bolts now for quick removal.

But I think I will be adding in a additional bit of wiring over the weekend, though I'm worried now that the loom could be roted I might have circuit leak to.

So has anyone got any ideas for anything I might have missed, other then on the scrounge for a new loom?

I had a similar thing a while ago, the connector block (on the clutch side if you see what I mean?) terminals were fubard and i by-passed them with some wire and had no problems after that

I though it was the block on the right side... its all getting rather green a fuzzy lately so might be a idea to swap the lot.

Re: No Headlights
 

I'm sure it was the left had side on mine

Re: No Headlights
 

I'll have to have a look at the wiring diagram when I get home, unless anyone knows of a link to one.

It was a white connector block IIRC

Role on the weekend.

The dipped beam on my SV650SY goes through a yellow block connector, and is a yellow & white cable. I know this because I was soldering it back together last night after the last owner bodged it.... As my entire front loom's hanging down at the moment I can't tell you where on earth that block connector's supposed to go.

So we had white and now yellow... any other bidders?

I did look at a this ->> wiring diagram <<-- last night so I know that headlights are on a yellow, white a black with white tracer. This is the earth form the diagram, but I know it should be fine as while I lost my lights I didn't loose the indicators which are on the same circuit. So this would leave the problem as the yellow or the white wire at the connector block as I also still have rear lights. With the yellow being high beam and the white the low. So it should just be these two to have a look at.
Would't surprise me if it turn out to be something else though.

I'm fairly sure the wiring for the K1 is different to the X&Y models, so if it's the K1 that's got the problem I'm probably clouding the issue....

Edit: Or to put it another way, we may both be right :D
