Hi all,

Had a prob with her starting recently, managed to find or sortta id the fault to the diode under the rear fairing, just clicking away not starting her. Anywho, finally got a new one today fitted it fired up no prob's :smt001 Went to pull away and changed back to neutral at a light, what neutral :smt017 No light came on, bugger :smt009

Hope not related, but am I lloking for a sensor on the gearbox or maybe just a bulb gone on the dash...Me thinks way to coincidental to happen straight after I change the diode :smt012

Happen to anyone before.....

Cheers in anticipation,

Warranty yeah rite!!

Sorry, never had it. Can only be the bulb - I have a broken dash with some in if thats all it is. But your right, bit coincidental. Hopefully you just popped a fuse when you used the hammer and chisel to fit the new relay thingy :smt003

Hi Pierre,

Found the problem :smt013 It was the friggin wiring loom, the wires going into the diode had been nipped or bent so it was making intermittent connection on the diode, hence non starter sometimes :smt010

I am a fully trained find-a-problem on my falco-guy now :smt002

See u later,
