    Hiya


    Dropped bike in the garden yesterday getting it out. On the way home from the subsequent ride I noticed the full beam light was on. Then I noticed the indicators, horn and full beam had gone. The indicators remained lit permanently (not flashing) but seemed dim.

    Checked fuses this morning and they seem fine. Any ideas please, shipmates?

    Need the bike up and running sharpish. I use it most days.

    sounds like the switchgear on the handlebars has been damaged ,not sure if you can take some screws out and look inside to see if electrical contacts are bent.

    Don't sound so surprised R1, quite logical really given the drop on that side. [​IMG]

    (They're a bit slow on the uptake them there soft Suverners like!) [​IMG]
