Headlamps
While I am waiting for my brake bleeder to arrive I am going to try and sort out my headlamps.
When I got the bike the sidelights worked fine and also the man beam and pass light but not dipped beam. I stripped the switchgear and sprayed all of the inside with contact cleaner and now no headlights at all. I love electrics  Regards James |

Re: Headlamps
Green connector woes. It's right inside the fairing and you have to take it all off to get at it. Plenty of threads on it already.

Re: Headlamps
If it's a pointy it's the connector block just behind the headstock (raise tank and air filter). Yellow and white cables. Bypass the dodgy cable connections with well protected automotive connectors (spade/bullet). Job done.
If you need any more info, holler.

Re: Headlamps
So I have a right dashboard disco now as the connector seems to be completely knackered so looks like replacement loom or spade connectors

Re: Headlamps
B#gger!
Trouble is they all seem to suffer to some extent so a second hand one could be just as bad?! And then there's the connector on the other part of the loom... by-pass the lot? What's the best way forward? Probably best answered by someone with more savvy than me.

Re: Headlamps
spade connectors are pennies and a replacement loom is ££££££ so I know which one I'd try first.

Cordless soldering iron and a pocket full of spade connectors! Plenty of time and patience... great when it's all done and everything works as it should all the time!
