  • bike is POSSESSED, anyone know an exorcist?

    problems, problems, problems,
    every time I get it close to right, something else happens

    I have no lights,
    well I have tail, brake and turns,
    but no dash, front marker, or headlights,

    I've had this problem before, but the tach is working THIS time.

    I had to hotwire the headlight again, but THIS time we made it home,

    Yes, I've talked about dis-abling the RLU, but I haven't done it,
    http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread...&highlight=rlu
    That's the post,

    the switch isn't installed, led's aren't done yet, either
    but I've gone back to the original headlight and I have the aux. lights installed, (3 lights)
    wired but no power on them, YET. I didn't want to put the extra strain on the alternator,

    I just don't know what I should look at first, the RLU, maybe the headlight relay, the ?????

    any suggestions would be helpful

        Hey there renegade xs,
        I have had a problem like yours and it turned out to be broken wires near the steering head where they flex when turning. Turn the ign. on and give the wiring harness a wiggle test. These bikes will test us at times.

          I found it...............



          the end inside the fuse holder wasn't making contact with the fuse, kinda strange but that was the problem
