Complete loss of electrics whilst riding
#21

I don't think you can buy just the harness, I think it comes as a complete unit as shown below. Would be good if I could though!
The crack in the sleeve is about an inch before the harness goes inside the bottom of the casing and I'm sure it's hard wired inside.


The one below is a Wemoto part at £47 but only has a 4 pin connector which suits the boxeye but the foxeye needs a 5 pin connector and it's funny money.

So it was a dodgy connection off the ignition? You can fix it a few ways. You could replace the whole ignition but if the barrel itself is still working you don't have to replace it. You could cut the block connectors off on either side of the connection and solder in new block connectors. Or even easier you could do away with the block connector altogether and crimp each wire individually with normal crimp connectors. Then add some heat shrink over the connections to protect them. You can add a little solder to the crimps too if you want to be sure they're 100%. Looks a bit messier having individual connections but who cares!

Now fixed!!  Big Grin


Turned out to be the red supply wire to the ignition switch that was broken inside it's insulation about an inch short of it entering the underside of the switch housing. There was no evidence of a break from the outside of the wire but when I bared back the insulation the copper strands were black from the break point all the way back to the plug under the tank but were ok from the break point to the ignition switch housing so I replaced the bad section and jobs a goodun. Luckily I had that inch of good wire left to crimp on to or it could have been costly.


ps No low rev (1500-2500 rpm) hesitation and vibes any more either!


Thanks all for your help. :thumbup
