Man, It'd be great to meet You ! Long ways from S.E. Iowa...
Well you seem to have done better than my one and only grouse hunting trip to Maine … guess I should have brought a motorcycle instead of scattergun and bird dog . LOL
Thankyou LAB. After spending all day cleaning up all 5 separate ground points on the bike Cleaned up with a dab of dielectric grease . And the switch. No difference. It's a slow short .
12.4 volts is getting a bit low should be up to 12.8 fully charged anything below 12.5 is getting low.
Thanks but there is a slow short somewhere. I believe this is the issue..I'll start disconnecting circuits tomorrow.
Try removing bulbs first. My mate had a similar issue and spent days trying to find it. Stripped all the loom, nothing wrong. Eventually removed the stop / tail bulb and the short disappeared. Also if you have standard switches, loosen or remove them. The soldered terminations maybe touching the bars.
If that’s the only bike they will go on then I’d want to paint them the same lovely colour.
Likely a bit drained after dicking around trying to find the slow short.
I did think about that, but I am afraid that it would be too much of a good thing... I am kind of enjoying the contrast.
Bonzo! I'm right there with you. My Combat has been inside with me since she arrived two years ago. She's been company for me during zoom calls for work and definitely is a talking piece on the calls and good distraction with me working on bits and pieces here and there. Since I have the 850 in the garage that I ride, not much rush in getting her roadworthy just yet. I agree, excellent decor, and excellent use of space!Tidied up (emptied) the spare downstairs bedroom, cobbled together a makeshift ramp and rolled the mk2 right in there for a more comfortable fettle session.
