Have you lot actually been reading the posts you reply to?

If the horn Mervin has is working when he connects it to the battery, but not when it's in place on it's wiring on the bike then just getting another horn isn't going to help much is it?

Now theres a coincidence, i had exactly the same thing when i did the unity ride, hot day, stop & start, horn don't work, bit of movement so it all cools & lo & behold it works again.

And hes selling it!!

Check the wiring. Do a continuity test on the wire. Stick one probe in the switch and one on the horn end. This will show if there is a break in the wire. If there is, then just run a new bit of cable down to the horn and hide it under the tank.

I know this may sound really stupid BUT...check you have plugged the terminlas in the right way around on the horn. I moved mine on sunday and put connector on wrong way round, it just sucked the dome in and didn't vibrate it. turn the connector round and bingo. Just a thought

It just needed a bit of WD.

Sorted.
