Has anyone encountered this one? Here's the symptoms: neither headlight works, high beam indicator stays on, turn signals, tail light, brake light and horn all work. It is not the left hand switch. It is not the headlights. It is not the fuse. Thanks in advance, Steve Ford |

Will do. I'd better go out for a ride first for an attitude adjustment! |

I'll be dipped in dawg doo - that was it! Everything looked clean, too. Thank you so much, I was really ticked off. Happy Thanksgiving and the Useless will hit the road once more (the treacherous old pile). |

Sometimes the wire breaks under the insulation. I soldered all three wires to a larger single wire and coiled it so it could take the movement of the forks and then put an eyelet on it and attacked that to the frame. Never had another issue with it. |

A wise man (Al @ American Sport Bike) once told me that all electrical problems are GROUND related, until proven not... |

Glad it was that easy! When mine did that the ground loop looked perfect, then i touched it and it fell off. |

If only everything was that easy. It looks like it'll hit 100,000 miles after all and then it's time for the big rebuild and face lift. Thanks again! |
