Lights not working

Mike_Berkshire:
I had a similar issue on my 76 K2. It was corrosion between fuse and fuse clip

ST1100:
I'd trace & confirm with a multi-meter...
On a CX500 I'd worked on the fuses showed visually intact melting wires inside the glass, but no continuity...

Aye,

good advice above.


Had a problem with my F1 electrics,  bike stopped on the road, checked the fuses and all looked OK.

But eventually discovered the wire in the main fuse had melted through inside the end of the metal cap, and only at one side where you don't notice with just a quick visual inspection.

Anyhow later learned that this is often the case when you have poor intermittent connections through corrosion etc, and then just enough heat builds up to damage the fuse in this way.

Corrosion in the main engine block connector caused the issue for me.


Good luck

Gmac:
There are signs of corrosion on some of the wires and connectors.

I plan to go through them, and replace some connectors, when I get the chance

Gmac:
It was just the main 5a headlight fuse. Luckily the original spare was still in it's holder. All sorted, and everything working now
