Worst Bike Ever - Help

[Binky]

I have been having mind boggling electrical problems with my bike recently where occasionally everything would just shut down and nothing would work. This ended up being a dodgy connection between the earth connection and something else under the seat. This problem has now been fixed by bending on of the connectors back and spraying it with electrical moisture remover stuff. The bike now runs fine.

Unfortuantely there is now a side problem. First the high beam lights didn't work, and the fuse for these were fine which puzzled me. Then this morning the signal fuse blew so they stopped working but then the high beam lights began to work again. I replaced the signal fusewhich blew within another day and now although the engine runs normally and the headlights work properely i now have no brake lights, indicators, rev counter, speedo or any lights on the dash apart from the full beam light. What is causing this annoying problem, where do i look first??? ...Is it complicated or shall i just take it to a garage???

Sorry for the long winded explanation, any help/suggestions are much appreciated, even if they are "your bike is wrecked and you are going to need to take it to a garage and spend lots of money on it"

I'd change the loom mate-

Yeah, not a bad price for a loom that's been inspected and comes with a guarantee
that it'll work when you fit it.

all manner of things-mark up on retail goods is about 2.5 purchase price-the guys who are selling used parts are buying/breaking bikes and selling them off bit by bit-some parts are more in demand than others and after a while they have quite a few of the less in demand parts left-you buy new you pay for it-up to you but aslong as i'm getting a guarantee i'm happy.

People rarely want/need full looms so these end up sat around gathering dust and taking up space as Husky has said. Suzuki can and will charge whatever the f**k they like for their parts!!!
