Just a thought as I noticed this the other day ..
Have you had the rear taillight disconnected
It has 2 green wires and on my bike one has the faintest of yellow trace marks....almost invisible especially in a darker garage . One is an earth the other a switch on to
the lamp
I'm assuming this would run to the headlight ....if connected wrong...or together thay would cause this fault

Ok
Thing is
I have 3-4 here and all have been off a bike for at least 5 years if not 10+
So god knows what condition they are in.
Perhaps I will sort them all at least one must be ok

« on: April 01, 2020, 07:22:26 PM »
Is there an easy way to test the front brake switch on the 500.
It would be nice to know before I tidy it up and fit and fill the system
Thanks in advance

I believe this is correct after getting caught out before ...i then looked abit closer at fees.
If it's a classified add you pay a fee upfront.  So they already have their slice..  then they charge a tiny fee if someone presses buy it now.
If it's an all out auction they take 10% up to £2500 and its then capped at £250.

If you pull an auction with bids up to a grand they charge you a 100 quid .... for the help.

I found this out when I had a racing tribsa on auction sitting at about 3500 and then the original builder called me and let me have a shed load of history so I needed to reassess my options...
Ebay fees were £250 .
I did manage to call and i said I couldn't start it so advert was misleading...they let me off but said it was a one time exception...

If you pull an auction with bids on it you still pay the fees on the final price it was sitting on
Up to £250..
They will let you off once but only once.

I found this out first hand .

Obviously if it's a classified you pay up front but have a way smaller final selling fee

Personally I dont think it will make any difference .
The sun will keep coming up in the morning..
And the world will still explode in a half a billion years time....
 Watching the birds this morning on the bird feeder and they dont give a shit about any of it ...made no difference to them !
