    I searched this forum and found a few that are similar but not exact so I'd like to throw this out there and be sure the fix for those would work with mine as well. I have a 1999 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic with no aftermarket parts, electrical or otherwise. It's new to me and I don't know...

    Hello, I picked up a Honda Sabre and just got it running and passed inspection. I now want to make it look better so I bought an after market tail light. The after market tail light is a holagen light, same as existing. There are three connections out of the tail light (running light, brake...

    Hey there, so someone tried to steal my girl and In the process really messed something up. So if anyone is familiar with newer Yamahas (2017) and might be able to help point me in the right direction for repair I’d really appreciate it. Upon discovery of the bike: 1.) wires cut, could be...

    Hey Everyone, So I recently plugged my bike up to a charger for the winter and when went to put it back into the bike I believe I reversed the polarity. Due to this I ended up blowing the main fuse. I replaced the fuse, but i think I messed something up on the bike. When i plug the battery...

    I've been having issues with the electrical on my 1978 Honda CB400. The problem seems to be related to the charging system. After riding for awhile the battery is dead and it's a new battery. I tested the charging system per the manual with the bike running and the readings were all out of...

    I'm really inexperienced at this stuff, particularly in regard to electrical/ignition issues. I'm desperate for help. Initially I was riding my 92 R100GS about 10 miles, when the bike just died as I was riding it. When I tried to re-start it, the engine turned over, but it wouldn't fire up. It...

    I have an Italika DM150 (I'm in Mexico for the winter). A few months ago, the clutch developed a quirk: if I tried to pull it in & start in 1st gear, the start button wouldn't work until I let it out a little... it's been like that ever since. A couple days ago, the start button stopped working...

    A strange problem has occured on my Suzuki 1972 model T250 Motor is running perfect, until I turn on any electrical switch such as mainlight, signal lights or any switch. I have checked the charging, and the battery is fully charged all the time, but when I measure charging voltage from...

    Headlight, taillight and running lights all stopped working at the same time. Turn indicators still work; bulbs are good; fuses are good. I've replaced the ignition switch on the off-chance - still no luck! Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I'm at a loss, now.

    Hi, I'm relatively new to motorcycles, but my younger brother left a partially dis-assembled 1973 Honda CB350 at my parents' place when he moved out West a few years ago. I'm attempting to get her back in running condition. The project was going pretty well until the other night. The gas tank...

    Hello ... when starting my 2003 VL800 Vlousia this morning the electric system completely went dark :mad: (upon pressing the ignition button). After a while electricity came back, everything is working (but the clock was reset ... so I assume there was a short somewhere), but when I press the...
