Faulty Healtech Gear indicator

MX4 is the lanolin type, great protection. Locks, switches, garden gates, even superb on my golf shafts.

There is no centre stand switch.

Sorry, I only have a side stand and I assumed that if you have a centre stand this uses the same switch.....

I should not assume too much me thinks...

I often assume, then my Wife speaks the truth. 🤣😂🤣

@Stevel3 if it was ok on the main stand until you took it off, then I wonder whether you may have a wire that's rubbed through around the headstock area. What I would suggest is put on the mainstand, if ok, then just jiggle the wires around the headstock or turn the bars lock to lock a few times to see if that makes anything happen. Can also sometimes get slight rub throughs where the loom exits the headlamp shell.

Also check where the battery negative connects to the frame - sometimes that can corrode up a bit

Somewhere something is slightly earthing that shouldn't be I suspect, not enough to blow a fuse but to cause your problems.

Yeah I think it is something minor causing it. It did it to me once yesterday morning while idling/warming up. I turned it off and wiggled the sidestand switch again and it didn't happen again yesterday. We went for about a 30 minute ride and had brekkie. We were stopped for over an hour and it was fine on start up and the ride home. If it happens again I'll have a look around the headlight area as I've had it off a couple of times. Can't remember why the first time but last weekend I had a fitted a brighter headlight bulb.

Well I think Mr Barmy might've been right. I had some higher handlebar mounts and wanted to see how they felt. Being taller I had to pull on the wiring to get it long enough for the bars to fit. Anyway as soon as I put everything back together the F1 light came on straight away. It took a few off on start ups to get rid of it. The bars didn't feel right being that high so I put it back to how it was. I then pulled the headlight out and looked for any obvious problems. I couldn't see any so I unplugged and re plugged every connector and made sure there was no tightness in the wiring. This afternoon I went for a ride and didn't get the F1 light at all. Finger's crossed it might be sorted. Also now there is no tingling thru the bike when on the trickle charger.

Sounding hopeful - fingers crossed!
