Subject: SV: Electrical problems, any ideas anyone?
The cable to the battery often gets loos. Especially the + cable, I think. Another sympom is that the tripmaster often counts the kms very fast. If this is the problem, just tighten the cables very hard at the battery. But if a mechanic has looked at it, you are probably not so lucky!
And I had some bad connections on my @ this summer. Several bad connections, maybe because of the salt in winter. The lights, horn and tripmaster blacked out (but not all at the same time). This was connections under the airfilterbox. Had to remove the tank and airfilter box.
