    Rear grounding fine for sure unfortunately. Good suggestion though. Might replace it all anyway when I get 5 mins

          Ya I'm just pulling the switch
          to bits again now actually lol that thought did suddenly cross my mind but it looks fine. I'd bet the headlight bulb just blew at a bad time. I've disconnected it now to eliminate it.

            Have you followed the link to Basscliff's site and downloaded a colour wiring diagram for this bike? It makes things a lot easier to check! I stumbled across his site and was amazed!

                  Ok I got nothing. Turn the switch and single relay click. Nothing else not so much as a flash. Can't find the damned fault. Got headlight working though :-)

                    When you checked your fuses did you do it visually or with a test light? They can break under the end caps where you can't see them.

                      I tested em with a multi meter. I'm sure there's a short in the loom now it's all that's left to check. I'm gonna rewire the flashers from scratch. Gonna cancel mot :-(
