On the way into work today My k100 died. Riding along quite nicely then everything went dead, dash lights, engine, everything.
This has happened before and I think it's a problem with the switchgear on the RH handlebar.
So with a bit of fiddling/shaking i got the hazard lights to function while i undid the screw holding on the cover.
After about 5 mins of shaking/pulling wires the dash lights come back on and all seems well, I started it up, no problem.
Just as I'm putting my gloves back on it dies again.
So, as I said, I'm pretty sure this is related to the rhs switchgear and maybe the ignition?
Just wanted to check if there's any known faults that match the above description, so maybe I can save some time fault finding.
Bike remains by the side of the road halfway between work and home...
