Who's handy with wiring? - chris1969 - 23-05-15
Many moons ago I changed over the wiring loom on my 2003 1000 (don't ask why).
Finally got round to switching it on today as my build is coming to an end.
First the good news. I have a rear light, rear indicators and the clocks work.
The bad news is:
1) There is a rapid fire "clack clack clack" for around 5 seconds, then it stops. Any idea what this is? I haven't even attempted to hit the start button yet, so it's not the starter motor.
2) I have no front indicators, or headlight. As you look at the headlight from the front of the bike, I have a light in the top left headlight on, which I don't think is correct.
3) The "passing" function looks to work ok...most of the time.
I've tried swapping connections around the headlight loom & checked fuses (unless there are other fuses I've missed), nothing.
Once I charged my inspection lamp I'll have another crack at it again tomorrow, but if anyone has any advice (apart from don't change the loom), it would be very welcome.

Clack clack clack...fuel pump perhaps?
Re: Who's handy with wiring? - mickvp - 23-05-15
yup. that will be the fuel pump priming by the sounds of it. mines does that when it has been off for a period of time longer than a few days.

Ah that sounds about right. It hasn't turned over for over 6 months. That should be one less thing to worry about then.

Ok, we have life.
Had a rummage around and found a spare headlight loom I'd forgotten I had. Swapped all that over and the headlight sparked into life, still no indicators. Turned out both indicators were actually faulty, so swapped those over and bingo, all lights now working. Phew, was a bit worried for a minute that I'd really buggered it up.
