SubscriberNew Question…
Started my bike tonight to come home and the tail lights work but the headlight and the front amber running lights don’t come on. All the blinkers and brake lights work fine so I will ride it home tomorrow in the day time.
Is the headlight and front running lights on a fuse? Maybe one of them in the box next to the ignition switch?loop-single-reply.php
@venmc
AdministratorYes there are breakers in the key switch box and there is a turn signal module mounted on the splash guard. Hopefully Jim can chime in as he may have a suggestion.

@sittn-duck
SubscriberThanks for the quick response. If or when the turn signal flasher gives up the ghost does it usually only affect the turn signals or does it affect other things also?

SubscriberFinal Result…
I bought one new 15Amp breaker and tested it in all positions(one at a time) and there was no difference. I ordered 2 more breakers anyway, they are cheap and i need the spares. I took off the tank and where the 3 connectors are I found one small red wire broken (it crosses between different connectors, I have no idea what it is for) I cut a 3″ piece of 16ga wire soldered the ends and put shrink tube over the connections. I unplugged all the connectors and verified good connections. What did I fix…don’t ask me. It is working now. I think I will get one of those chrome bicycle headlights that mount on the handlebars so if it happens again I don’t have to wait for the sun to come up . lol.loop-single-reply.php

SubscriberMy Banshee was doing the same thing—check the battery cables first to make sure the connections are not loose

SubscriberI am completely shooting in the dark here but it sounds like it might be heat related if it works for a while and then goes south again.
I think it is in the box behind the starter mounted to the front of the rear fender. I was looking at mine trying to figure how to re position it so it is easier to change or work on but I cannot find anywhere else to put it. Mine looks like either lift the fender to get to it or remove the starter.My ignition switch completely fell apart on the way home tonight so I am going to put a toggle switch in that spot.
Hey Josh are you in SoCal?

@sittn-duck
SubscriberDid you get it fixed? What was it? mine is doing similar stuff, above 2200 rpm the tach jumps all over and the engine dies but then when rpm drops to around 2 or less it fires up again.
More info…I have noticed recently when I turn on the switch the headlight does not come on. When I start it and give a little gas the light comes on and stays on. What I find strange is the battery turns over the bike and starts it good so I am not thinking it is a bad battery or bad battery connections…would the regulator be causing this or should I go after the stator?
Today I checked the physical connections on the stator and the compensator nut. everything is torqued and has not come loose. The tiiming plate is not loose and has not moved, after I check the battery, the wiring under the tank, the voltages running, change the coil, wires and plugs, what next?

@sittn-duck
SubscriberI found a loose wire, there are 2 wires that look the same color going to the center connection on the coil. One of the wires was barely touching. I attached the two wires then added a short piece of wire so there would be no tension. Hooked it up and it works good again.
My headlight comes on when I turn on the switch like it suppose to also.
I guess age and vibration is going to start showing up in the wiring now. Have to add a digital meter and leads to my tool box. :unsure:loop-single-reply.php
