Got 'Horn' Problems!

me again,

despite what you might think, having posted my third message in as many minutes i do try and look after my bike.!!!!

It seems i've got an intermittant fault with my Sv's horn. When it gets warm (engine and weather) the horn will stop working. Not sure why this is. It also happens quite a lot when i'm carrying a pillion passenger!

any clues anyone?
should i just replace it?

Cant







Resist







it













help!!!!!!






Try viagra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

wonder how long it would take for the fun to start!


hahaahaha

I get the same problem..... is it a pointy you've got by any chance. My K5 does that. It seems to be the heat build up from the radiator. Moving the horn might help us, but replacing it with a pair of hi-lo "Fiamm" snail-shaped horns would be as much work and lots more rewarding. The factory horn is pathetic anyway.

Cheers,

Garry

Sorry, Have you tried keeping the bike in a fridge?



So it only happens when the bike gets warm? Is the battery loosing charge? could be a short on the horn circuit, or a dodgy connection (old physics - when sommat metal gets warmer it'll increase in size)

thanks guys,

Yeah its a K4 pointy. I think i might just bend the blasted bracket a bit and see if i can't get it away from the radiator slightly.

try mounting it somewhere else?

they all do that sir.......

mine too when the engine rad gets hot the horn stops, i bent it away a bit and it got better but not purrfect, ill have to make a longer bracket, it looks easy enough , or get some new horns and scare small children

mwaahhhhahhahhahha

remount the horn under the tank

Seriously though, I would get some air horns and go for the child scaring thing.
