Hello and good morgen to all,
As a noob to k100 i have made some small errors in the dealing with this bike, i think underestimating its complexity was the first. It stands to reason (now) that the injectors need to know what temperature the water is.
anyway to make a short story long. i was cleaning the left side switch and dropped the wee brass plunger / guide that lives inside the horn button.
does anyone have one of these from a dodgy switch they might like to part with, the indicator cancel button has the same (exactly i think , though didn't get the chance to hold them up side by side) setup .
since then , as the horn button stay on , i have pulled the actives to the horn - and insulated them, as when they touch the frame/forks they blow the fuse and no indicators. so when the horn relay stays energised , the alternator must be taken out of the loop because now the bike drains its battery ,
I have used this as an opportunity to replace it with an agm , but wont ride it distance until i sort out the horn.
Thanks for reading and thanks for the forum,

Nathan

Ah yes know the problem beanolboy I had to make one of those things a few years ago. I used a small piece of tobin bronze brazeing rod and a small file so I understand your wish to get a ready made one.

Some one with a small hobby lathe could make one for you.

Hold fire Beanoldboy, I replaced my LH unit a while ago, the dimmer was cactus, I'll have a look and see if the horn is still good. Postage may cost a fortune tho.
Be back tomorrow with a PM if I can find the piece. Can't have an old codger without a horn can we.

Mate, im as keen as to hear you can help me out on this one, cant tell you what a pain in the @ss it has been , do you acknowledge the beer currency ?

I do, and fortunately, will be tripping around up north in late Jan, worst time I guess. I'm on the case this morning, you might have to have the whole horn section. Mine's new so in theory should last 20 years or so if I can stop hitting it trying to cancel the indicators.
