Re: No Speedo, No Lights, No Rev Counter, No Dash...
Hmm, you sure you haven't got front lights? Rear light didn't work on mine when it went, but the front lights are on a seperate fuse...hmm, interesting. Think check your fuses then as Grinch says, check the 30.

The signal fuse is the 15A one, with 10A either side of it. Quote:
I was hoping someone knew of an eastern European midget I could rent for half an hour or so. The connectors behind the headstock are nigh on impossible to get at (after going to the trouble of removing airbox and throttle bodies even!!) |

Re: No Speedo, No Lights, No Rev Counter, No Dash...
Your lucky you got summat...I got nadda.
Soembody was supposed to have solved my electrical problem. It always seems to reappear when I'm looking forward to a day of meee time. I am currently taking off all my fairings, and doing to fffing job myself. Blown fuse....again. Somebody was supposed to have checked the wiring loom round the headstock etc. Guess what I've just found??? So just tape it up, and check the rest? Will that be enough?

Re: No Speedo, No Lights, No Rev Counter, No Dash...
If you have a wire that's rubbed on the frame or somewhere - so long as it's not gone through the metallic core of the wire, then yea, just insulation tape around that wire to isolate it, then more tape around the bundle of wires to protect it in future.

Re: No Speedo, No Lights, No Rev Counter, No Dash...
now then, just fettling round the loom over the left side of the nose cone. bunch of wires there, I've found a pink one that has worn through, a fine thread of copper is just severed from the core, can I just wrap tape round it, or do I have to do something to it first?.....bearing in mind that there are no so called experts at home, and theres just me for the next million hours!

Re: No Speedo, No Lights, No Rev Counter, No Dash...
If your talking about a single thread then just wrap the individual wire to cover the gap in the insulation (making sure the fine thread isn't sticking out), then wrap the a bit more (tape, or use some spi-wrap) around the entire cable loom to stop future chaffing.
In case your wondering what spi-wrap is: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=26849 Last edited by Grant66; 13-03-09 at 01:12 PM. Reason: Linky added |

Re: No Speedo, No Lights, No Rev Counter, No Dash...
If the majority of the core is OK, wrap it in insulating tape and all should be well. Check all the other wires to. You might want to wrap the whole loom in an old inner tube or summat to protect against future chaffing.

Re: No Speedo, No Lights, No Rev Counter, No Dash...
I've taped over the very small worn part, then I've taped over the taped bit on either side to stop any moisture getting under that. I've retaped the main cover that the big bunch is coming out of. Pretty certain that theres no more, checked all the wires in that particular bunch, but now its raining
I can't see anything thats around any subframe, headstock or other metal thing damaged, apart from the clutch wires(that I originally found and taped up) and a main one from the right hand clip on or there abouts. Checked what i can see under the nose cone, can't figure out how to get that off ( and can't be bothered today) but the subframe is newly pwdercoated and not damaged so I doubt anything can be bare against paint to blow a fuse. hmmm me and my mole like eyesight seems to have found more than those that know what they are doing....beginners luck eh (read as Dizzy is seething and fed up to the hind teeth of her beloved SV blowing up)
