Firstly thanks Will/D-Rider for the 'Magpie Motorcycles' Coventry lead, took it in this morning, it passed but have an ongoing problem with the horn, it sounds once then stops working for a while or till you restart the bike the sounds once then doesn't work again....odd!

*Edit- Just read a couple of posts about this and could be connectors but seems odd it works then doesn't, thought it would not work at all??

If it turns out to be the horn itself, I do have a spare

Thanks, be just one of those niggly jobs that i'll get around to sorting one day...will let you know, thanks again

Some bikes I've worked on have had relays for the horn. They're usually used in two-tone set ups (and no, nothing like The Specials or The Selecter before the clever ones start..lol..) but have seen in singles. The symptoms to me do sound like a sticky relay though.

..... so they might ...... but we don't have a relay for the horn

I did say some bikes..

I know.... but that emoticon was getting a bit out of condition and needed some exercise

Fair

...yet another post goes wayward!!

Yes the newer seat is noticeably more comfortable than the older one but I would suggest going for something like the bootleg option rather than hunting down a straight replacement if comfort is an issue

..... so ....

• * Have you checked through the circuit?
  * Have you checked the horn itself? (power it directly across a battery - taking care not to short out the battery)
