  • Bloody Electrics Grrrrr

    Happy Easter Everybody!!!

    Just went to do our annual Easter Egg run down to the Kiddies ward at the hospital, everything running nice on the XS11, went to pull away with the crowd of other riders and...F!*&ing Electrics short out, Sparks flying everywhere.

    Some days I hate that bloody bike!!!

    Had to go home and pick up a Honda

    So instead of spending the day in the pub I'm up to my neck in bits of wires, never mind I've got it running now...just!

    Hi Daw,
    yeah, been there, done that. Took a replacement harness anna aftermarket spade fuse box to fix mine. Why the effin' bike has to have a wiring harness as thick as your wrist and mystery modules all over it I dunno.
    My 1970 BSA 250 may be the last pathetic gasp of a failing British bike industry but it only needs 7 wires to fuction. OK. 10 if you want signals.
