any ideas???
bike won't start
- Thread starter scubamouse
- Start date
Have tried that all ok there think i have a n electrical problem just don't know where to start did run just no lights now won't run and the fuel gauge is not working.
have a look at the wiring coming from the ignition switch, could be a broken one , give the wires a wiggle and see if anything springs into life.
no start.
Yes, check the wirinfg where it goes around the headstock this is where it fails, BM's used to sell a bit of wire with all connectors fo this as a spare for just this problem (did for 1100s anyway).
Good luck.

What bike is it?
Its bound to be an 1100 with that sort of problem. fecking right dodgy piles-O-Shite. Dodgy electrics, wobbly forks, poor brakes, hand grenade gearboxs and weak head gaskets...you can see where the 1200 evolved from

1150GS with about 65,000miles on it
From what i remember on Micks earlier thread about this, the bike started and ran with no problems.
But did not have headlights, brake lights, indicators or dash lights. But did have neutral and oil lights.

It sounds as though its "just" the lights now not working.
Check the power feed to the lights actually at the place where the bulb sits, then test the earth. If the earth is "live" you have a bad earth somewhere.
This happened on my fogs and it turned out to be a poor earth by the head stock.
Also check the light swithgear on rhs grip. And the fuses for the lights
