I received this from a friend with problems..any ideas lads?
Hi Allan,
Yesterday, as I was leaving for town, the bike suddenly died on me ...no ignition, lights, nothing. I have checked fuses and snap-on connectors and they are OK.
When I rode down from Bethlehem in pouring rain last year in May, water got into the instrument nacelle (?) which I opened and cleaned but lost the clock.
The other problem was that when changing gears in the rain, the gear selection indicator was jumping from gear to gear and eventually showing the wrong gear eg, neutral was showing when I was in 5th. When I tried to start the bike the following day, it would not turn over in neutral but would do so when I pulled the clutch in. The neutral contact on the gear selector switch had obviously been compromised and perhaps the clutch over-ride contact has eventually succumbed. Anything else you can think of?
Regards, Frank
I am baffled, Ajays
