While you're checking the relay, also check that you don't have problems with the wires coming from the fuse pod or relay box rubbing against the frame and rubbing through the insulation, shorting/breaking any wires.

Harry,

Alternating means all is fine. Both together means a fault has been detected. Sometimes if the battery is not fully charged, the system goes straight into fault mode, but it's usually OK if you run the engine for a minute or two, turn it off and try again.

Cheers,

Paul

Harry,

About £105 from Motorworks. Don't forget to order up some paint too. It is a really easy job to fit.

I've had my power socket fitted for 95K miles.There is no corrosion on any of it inside or cables.I've never needed to use WD40! It is ftted in the upper position...nuff said :D Bailey. Bailey, Have you checked the bundle of wires from the left hand fuse podule, to see if they are rubbing against t...

The lead that plugs into the back of the socket has corroded and upon inspection one of the cables broke away from the female socket - green powdery copper :cry: Is this common and can I just get a replacement cable to plug in in its place? At less than two years old this seems a bit poor even if i...

If your in the Salisbury area, give me a shout as since I'm an aircraft elecie I have the kit to do the job.

Thanks for the offer Rob, but I managed to get the job sorted.

Bailey, Thanks for the offer. I managed to find an appropriate bit of wire and twist the conductors securely together, then wrapped the joins with some stretched self amalgamating tape. I then re-covered the bundle of wires from the fuse pod to the frame in more self amalgamating tape. That should d...

Babble,

Congratulations! you correctly diagnosed the problem:



Now, any top tips for splicing in a new bit of wire? Er, no I don't have a soldering iron...

Cheers,

Thanks Bailey, you're a Gent. I'll check out the relay tonight, and if I'm still having problems, I'll give you a call.

Cheers,

Have you checked the horn relay? Mine worked loose and the horn packed up. Just needed to push it back in. Stempy, Have't checked that yet. I'll whip off the fairing and have a look tonight. In the event that the relay is damaged, rather than simply worked loose, do you know if it's the same spec. ...

Gents, Took the bike in for it's MOT this morning (pillion footrests attached, just in case ) and wandered off for a fried breakfast whilst they sorted it (any excuse...). Came back after 30 minutes. "Sorry sir, it failed. The horn is not working". Now, I've had problems with this about 6 months ago...

Jason - 100 miles to the light??? I take it you're 'enjoying' the bike then :D I used to reckon on somewhere between 120-135 of normal brisk(ish) riding. Totally ragging it I got the light on in 92 miles - but that was caning the living daylights out of the bike. ...or commuting in slow traffic. I ...

Me thinks they have found out what the dealers charge for them.£6 a pop.Cheeky bastard.Tell em to stick them up there arse. gus PS still feeling guilty for nabbing a couple of ya! Gus, I think you'll find that that method of installation retards the ignition... I bought the motorcraft FR6DP equival...

Gents, Serviced the bike today and managed to get away with only one sheared bolt (top right altenator cover bolt). I replaced the alternator belt using Bailey's patented "quick-'n'-easy" technique of cutting off the old belt (which was starting to split...) and fitting the new belt over the bottom ...
