Hi all, been a while since I posted on here and hoping some of you learned folks can offer a sad focer some pointers on my problem.
My 2003 600 foxeye has lost all electrics while I was riding it. No lights, no dash lights, no nothing!
I always ride with full lights on and recently after I had started the bike, let it warm up and then switched my lights on I noticed the oil light would come on for a second along with the orange light and the tacho dropped to zero but the engine didn't falter or cut out.
Anyway today I was luckily only half a mile from the house and going round a corner when everything just died.
Battery is only a year old and showing 12.7v but doesn't dip when I turn on the ignition switch. Disconnected the earth lead and no leak from positive to ground so I'm guessing its the ignition switch or maybe starter solenoid but I'm not splashing out till I'm sure.
Any advice on what to check to narrow down the issue?
Thanks in advance folks.
