Check you havent blown the main fuse. Not sure where it is located on a K3, but should be near the battery. Your manual should tell you. Don't mean to sound rude, but did you disconnect the battery when fitting the lights. If so, have you put the wires back on.

Sometimes it's the simplest things.

Don't worry, you've just blown the main fuse. First test the indicators resistance using a multimeter. If its close to zero you've a short somewhere from wire to indicator and you'll need to fix before you change the fuse.

Fuses are under the front seat (K2). If you need the bike to get a fuse from shop you can stick some foil in to replace the fuse BUT THIS WILL BE VERY DANGEROUS if you still have a short so MAKE SURE you fix that first.

As a side note I've also found on the K2 you can short the inidcators and electrics will go dead but unshorting and resetting (key out then in) brings electrics back. That means electronic trip in the flasher unit.

Done it... You were both right... I'd blown one of the 30 amp fuses - Replaced it now & it's sorted

Always remember to disconnect the battery when carrying out any electrical work..

I bet you panicked when there was nothing eh?

You're face must have been a picture.

Just thank god it was a simple cheap fix...
