I say 'only work sometimes' because I can't spell intermittent...

Anyway, a K6S it is so the lights are supposed to be on all the time but they seem to be on some kind of work to rule (ask your Dad). Makes no difference if it's wet or dry, warm weather or cold, been running or standing, you name it. Flasher doesn't work either but side lights and indicators are fine.

I'm figuring it's not a fuse or bulb issue and I've had the fairing off to check for (really) obvious chafes in the wires and to give the connector block a damn good WD40ing. The next event is switch disassembly (the old loose wire theory) but l'm less than keen on that so thought I'd find out what the usual problem is...

Cheers!
