Title: Dash electrical problem
Post by: Tonythetiger on Tuesday, 20 June 2023, 04:16 AM
Hi Guys, I have Just pulled my bike out the garage to have a ride out to a local bike meeting and she was working fine, I switched her off to talk to a mate and when I switched her back on none of the instruments are working but the bike starts and runs perfect. any Ideas what the issue could be, it's popping the fuse every time I put the ignition on including a 20amp fuse. The only thing I've done to the bike is adjust the ride height at the front. I'm stumped as to why this would happen.                           
                                    T.T.T

first thing would be to check all wiring and connectors in and around the headlight and headstock.

Yup, what HR said.   You have a short to earth somewhere up there.

I found the problem, It was because the horn was shorting out. so my horn clearly has issues and will be replaced asap.
