electrical problems !!!
« on: June 26, 2018, 08:02:12 PM »


  have asked,and received a replacement speedo bulb holder,thought it would be about an hurs job to fit,

 was it hell !!  I seem to have issues ,

 when I turn on the lights,only the side light comes on,put it in park,the speedo and tacho ,with the rear light comes on,

 indicators work perfectly,headlamp flasher works ,

I think a wire must have been switched !!,but I only have wiring diagram for USA model,no seperate light switch ,and no pilot bulb.


CAN ANYONE GIVE ME A LINK TO A 500/4 K1 UK model wiring diagram?

 need to get sorted for sunday !!

What colour wires are coming from the speedo/tacho bulb holders.

  green for earth ,and brown/white for power,

 I need to know what pilot cable is ,also the power lead to the switch gear on RH handle bar ,maybe they got switched
