Cut Out

[Wolfman]

I've mentioned this before, but have tried all the normal fixes, but no joy

So

No Lights
No Horn
No Starter
No Indicators

When I try the starter, hear the relay, but nothing

Got No1 Son to bump start for me, on starting, bloody hard work in the present clim, everything came back on as soon as it started.

All seem well, stop / started 10 times, but stopped at the services, 30mins, came outside, no chance

Off came the jacket, off to a quite spot and tried bump starting on my own yesterday afternoon, NO WAY, but after 4 attempts and almost getting it, tried the starter and off it went

Stopped for fuel later in the afternon, it started ok, but indicators would only run for 2 blinks.

Got home, left it overnight and this morning, No Show for Punch

ANY BRIGHT IDEAS

Wiring To Ignition Switch??

I don't know what model you have ( although your avatar shows an 1100?), but I know the 1150's often have problems with the wire loom from the ignition switch unit that's fixed into the bottom of the ignition barrel assembly.
Due to the constant flexing of the cables as the handlebars are moved left & right the wires break up inside the loom - it's not always easy to spot.
I had to replace mine a few months ago. If it is that, then leave the loom with more slack when you replace it - ie less severe cable-tying . I removed some of my cable-ties afew years ago, but it still broke up eventually

Get your starter motor checked out. If need be, remove it and take it to your nearest auto sparks chappie. disconnect the battery first.

I'm loosing everything above at once

Thanks for your sugestions, checked first two and all seems ok, would the starter motor cause problems with the rest!!!!

You`re wasting your time checking the starter motor at this stage.

Check the point of source first......the battery.

Is it fully charged ?

If it`s a lead acid one,check for correct electrolyte level.

Check the battery terminals for tightness and cleanliness.

Check the battery to frame earth connection.

Check the 'mini loom' from the bottom of the ignition switch to the main loom on the left of the headstock......with the ignition on,gently twist and bend this section to see if things come on or go off...it`s a common failure.

It may be a fault with the 'load shedding relay',which knocks everything out while you`re starting the engine...though if that was the case,the starter motor would operate.

Most likely battery related...or that aforementioned piece of wiring.

I would think it was battery related too. Fist thing I would do is clean the battery terminals. I'll phone you ref coming over tomorrow re screen. Maybe an extra set of eyes and all that. Try my battery and see if that's ya problem.
