Have to go now... better half's waiting

Good luck mate, but it looks like a blown fuse to me.

Right, just checked those fuses, one of the 30A fuses was blown. Thanks a lot for your help

Just need to find some way of getting a 30A fuse.. haha

It's under the rider's seat. There at first appear to be two fuses, but one is the spare, pull them both out and you'll see that one has two metal receptacles that the blades of the fuse engage with, and one is just a plastic holder.

Wait - so one is a spare?? You're saying that I could swap the other one with the blown one and it'd work?

One fuse is in a dummy holder not connected to anything - it's a spare.

Whether replacing the fuse will fix the problem depends on why it blew, if the fault with the electrical system is still present then the replacement will pop too. Which is a good thing. Until you try you'll never know.

Put the spare fuse in and it works again - thanks all

If it was all working fine before then hopefully it will of just blown because of the bare wire that touched the frame.

Just make sure you replace the spare!
