Hello for all of you!

Here i am again looking for help! Question

Yesterday when i stop the bike and turn the key of the lights still on.

They only turn of when i turn the right hand switch to the position 0. 

Today i have dismantle the right hand switch and i think it´s ok. The contacts are good and it works fine.

Then i tried the ignition, and when i turn the ignition for first position the minimum light turns on and when the key goes to second position the minimum light turns off.

So i thin it´s ok too.

Even if i cut the power to the bike with the swith of the right hand the lights never turn off. I have always the lights on and  the lights of tacho are on too.

What do you think it could be? What should i do first?

Thank you!

Good curves

I would guess your load shedding relay have welded its contacts together.
Try to give a few gentle taps with the handle of a screwdriver.
If that don't help, the relay can be opened...and the contacts pulled apart
(and when it's open you can clean the contacts with some fine emery paper).

I find the total opposite myself.
I usually find that once I get going in the morning, fuel up and prepared, and I am on the move, 
I still have forgotten something.

but then once I am  out at the garage and turn the key in the trusty old K , lights come on. idea2

welcome aboard Abbocath, you're in good hands already, Inge is on the job . 
hope you get sorted, and enjoy this forum.

Hi GroverK, this is my favourite forum for the K´s! I have already learn huge of motorcycles in here!

Anda thank you very much Inge for your help!

Today was the day i have a time to look for the relay!

As you say, with a gentle taps on it, the lights were okay. But when it passes a fez minutes on the problem return to the same.

Then i take it of and pass a fine emery paper on contacts and now it seems working okay!

Now i will ride for more days and than i will tell how it has.

Its probably they fail again? Should we replace the relay for a new one? Can we repair it?

Thank you once more!

Have here three pictures of it!
