Hi all, hope everyone is o.k. and not letting the b`stards grind you down!! After a very long break from all things motorcycle related, I`ve managed to get back into it and start to regain my sanity over the last few months .
First thing I did was rebuild my v-max and take it on a trip to Valencia to see friends. Back in the shed, I`ve decided to downsize the fleet so decided to leave my three mk1 TDM`s to no`s 2, 3 & 4 in the queue and start with my XT600e to get it mot`d and move it on.
Now after much banging of head against wall with what seemed like a simple electrical problem, I`m at a loss and this was the first place I thought of ask for help.
I know that there are some oracles of all things electrickery on here, so I humbly ask for your help, here goes.....
If I turn on the ignition and operate the indicators without the engine running, they work perfectly.
If I start the engine, they stop working.
If I turn on the sidelight with the engine running, they will work sometimes, others not.
If I turn on main headlight with the engine running, they will work perfectly.
If I disconnect the headlight with the engine running they stop working but will start working again if I put the plug back on the bulb.
I`ve also tried three different flasher units - exactly the same problem with any of them.
Now I`m normally not too bad with electrics and I`ve poked the multimeter into every connector that is in the indicator circuit and checked
the earthing as best as possible and can`t find any obvious fault.
Am I going mad and missing something that`s staring me in the face??? Please help `cos I`m wearing a hole in the wall with me `ead!
