Horn unit wanted for 2005 Pointy
 

Hi everyone.

My horn has decided to pack up. If anyone has one for sale please let me know.

Cheers!:D

Is it never working or does it work just sometimes?
I had some problems with mine in the past, but sorted it out by moving the horn to a different place. Being behind the radiator, it seems the heat can affect it... sometimes.

Much better to upgrade to someting like a Fiamm
Stiebel Natilus is even better but would need a relay to wire in.

The stock one is pants

It used to work fine but started working intermittently once the engine was hot. Now it has stopped working all together. I have tested the switch and have 12v on the end of the wires even when the engine is hot so i think its completely knackered now.

stiebel magnum is direct replacement, about £14 off the shelf at halfwits.

i have one from my curvy, but the naked pointy has the horn behind the radiator, where is the horn on the faired bike?

Hi, mine is the bikini fairing version, the horn is the same as the naked and located behind the radiator.

Horn has a small bolt on it's back. Someone told me that bolt should regulate the gap between the membrane and... whatever... (I wish my English was better and I wish I knew something about horns too... :-?)

Anyway, after trying to solve things turning that bolt I decided to move the horn to another location, just in case, and hadn't had a problem since.

it seems Yamaha R6's are direct swap... and maybe they don't overheat like our's

???

i'm gonna make a longer ally bracket, to drop it down below the rad and bolt my magnum to it

Re: Horn unit wanted for 2005 Pointy
 

Thanks for the replies, I take it the magnum wont fit behind the rad? I will have a look at the R6 horn if its a direct swop. If not it might be just as easy to buy the aftermarket one and make a bracket or just relocate to behind the headlight fairing. At least that way it wont be near the heat of the engine and also will be protected from the rain.
