Hi all, thanks very much for your replies - much appreciated.  I've since been told that the offending item is a resistor, apparently the pink wire runs to the left-handlebar switch (which would tie-in with Dave M's note about the headlamp circuit).  Have managed to solder the broken pieces back together but haven't tried making a container as yet, or resealing it.

Geoff; if you still have the same problem with your own bike, might be worth giving Dave Silver a ring.  They don't have the resistor listed on stock, but they are generally able to source parts - the only reason I haven't done so is because I wanted to see if it could be repaired (and I don't want to spend loads of money on getting the bike running only to find the engine's banjaxed!)  If our new-born ever sleeps long enough for me to have 'spare time', I'll try and get the bike running and report back on how the resistor is holding up from being re-soldered.

All the best, ride safely,

Rick.

Other Bikes / CB125 RS electrical

Hi, wonder if anyone can help? I recently bought a 125RS in need of much tlc. Most of it seems repairable apart from an electrical item located underneath the petrol tank. The unit is mounted forward and below the ignition coil and seems to be made of alloy (mounted to the frame in a metal bracket). It has 3 wires, two appear to be green, the third is pink - and it's the pink wire that has broken where it goes into the unit.

As the unit was damaged anyway I decided to try and take it apart with a view to seeing if the wire could be repaired. The unit was sealed with what appears to be a plaster-like material. Once the innards are exposed, there are two wire coils (one wound tighter than the other) with the 3 wires attached.

I no longer have a wiring diagram for the RS and can't identify this part - I assume it's part of the ignition system. If anyone could identify what this part is, it would be much appreciated. Would also be interested to know if anyone has had any success in repairing one of these units and then re-sealing it to prevent electrical shocks etc.

If anyone could supply a copy of the wiring diagram I'd be more than happy to forward the cost of a pint. Will also need a left-hand handlebar switch if anyone has one for sale. Thanks for looking.

Rick
