Hi guys
I went to fetch my bike this morning from a friend where we trailored the bikes back from baviaans. Started and rode home and in front of the house the bike just died. Dead like no power or any lights on dash. So thought it was the battery but all terminals were tight and connected. Next checked the main fuse and still fine. I will have strip bike down and see if there is any loose earth connections somewhere. Has this happened to anyone so i can maybe directly check faults rather than stripping it down bare to check everything. Will take a multi meter and check all fuses and also if battery has power. If i switch the ignition on the tail light flashes and the daylight running light also flashes. The horn makes a soft ticking noise too and you can hear the fuel pump also making a ticking noise. The rest of the bike is dead.
Hope someone has insight into the problem.
Many thanks
