Hi all...new to the forum hoping someone may be able to help. Bought a K100 RS '91 a couple of months ago. Initially fine then started cutting out when hot. Initially thought it was the Halls Sensor but when on a test ride to check coils where good when hot we had smoke and melted plastic as the right handle bar switch gear and main loom burnt out in six locations.
Have now replaced main loom with a second hand one. Tested for shorts and all seem ok. All electrics work (with no smoke) although had to re charge the battery first. Howver now:
I also had the tank of a drained while I was waiting for the new parts so has been dry for a couple of weeks.
Any help advice would be appreciated. The K was bought as an economical commuter (110miles a day) would be good if this turned out to be the case.
Many thanks in anticipation of someone pointing out something obvious I have neglected to do.

- Fuel pump is not priming
- Fuel gauge always reads full (tank only half full)
- Gear indiactor always reads 1st (sometimes flickers to '0')
- Starter motor want turn over unless clutch is in (despite being in netrual)
