Ok back of the fuse box I'll check ... Now we re talking about the front fuse box under the headlight behind the horns, not the 30a fuse holder by the battery, right ? (oh the newbee feeling suddenly invading my head...)
Now to have easy access there to check it all, it's headlight off it's mount and horns down, right ??? Also found out while checking wiring inside the headlight that the plastic framing of it had cracks. Any clue to find a new one ? (the small windshield was mounted touching the headlight... I guess it put on pressure with time) Its a 650sc 1985... Only rode it for a day and already miss the smooth engine ... :-) On Oct 10, 10:03 pm, [email protected] wrote: > Kyle is correct.
