all lights are off

when I installed the relay kit Hanso made up for me last week everything was sweet and i housed the two relays under the tank and put the tank down but i initually must not have had it in a position that was ideal because i turned the key and got the same response your having

My indicators worked but no tail or headlights or parkers .
i lifted the tank back up and realised on of the relays had come loose.

so im thinking perhaps your eb relay has come loose or failed perhaps

AhAh.. I am going to look up these two relays under the tank I think we are onto something ..thanks

Sorry AD I am not sure if you understud my test lamp suggestion.. it is my simple way of finding what is fed live in any circuit with the exception of ECU circuits which you can damage if you go poking a resistance even as low as small side lamp bulb.

Do you have a test lamp if so just switch on and systematically follow you new circuits to find the sorce of voltage is continuity.. you would find the point when the lamp is out.... a volt meter would do the same as a simple test lamp .. I find this the quickest wat to find a faulty connection etc.....it will work to test ya relays for open circuit..

Hope this helps.

Mitch kinda sorta had a similar problem also while riding the low beam came on (for 15mn) the other day and off again so I am going to look up the relays under the tank first
I have a tester I also will do a continuity test all along the wiring to confirm where the break is I now believe a bad connection is the problem since the lights came on for a while .
sadly I also will put the bike in storage in las vegas with the motorhome for the next 4 months as a new work contract was offered to me and I must be available on the 9th of feb .to go to Nouakchott and i just returned from San juan de Capistrano yesterday. so

The relay in question is probably the crossover relay. It turns the lights off when you mash the starter button. There's a seperate relay to power the starter. Good luck.

thanks for pointing to the probable cause .. however had to park the bike (safely locked in a former horsetrailer) in las vegas in aN RV storage place and will look at the relay when I come back from work (in africa) probaly in two to three months.
