Pop a couple of viagra in your coolant, then try re-mounting

But seriously, check your coolant and oil levels before your next ride. And if they're okay, try re-locating the horn- or buy a new one.

i have read about it being fairly common on the pointies, you'll need to move the horn and for best results fit somethinbg a bit louder like some twin fiamm horns or something by stebel

Are you sure it isn't the battery voltage dropping??

When it next happens, try flicking the lights off whilst your finger is still on the horn button ...

p.s. the above is not as stupid as it sounds
