well the lights are off once again. i tried tapping the relay and nothing. maybe it finaly wen't bad.

to replac e the relay, do i need to take off the front cowl or can i just remove the cluster to get to it?

 

Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this -

I would remove the windshield, easily done with a phillips screwdriver. You can see the relays through the windshield, as you've discovered - it looks to me that if you remove the windshield, the relays should be easy to change - I haven't had to do it yet, though...

 

Me neither. Good Luck

 

I think I have had the exact thing happen to me (3x times). Unscrew the throttle assembly (2 phillips head screws/ free reg at powersprtspro.com ) - there shoud be 3 leads, wiggle them/ test continuity key on/ key off and if you have a cheap circuit tester it will make it 10x easier / headlight will prob flicker = bad connection (rumor is they come unsoldered under high heat) relays don't go out very often solid state circuitry vs cheap solder under high heat and crazy vibrations
hope this hepls

i just looked in there the other day ago and sure enough, theres a wire loose thats becopme un-soldered. so i re-soldered it and still doesn't work. but when i lightly push on the platic plate the wires sit on it flicks back on. seems like the assembley is bad somehow. So i stuffed some paper towels in there to apply some pressure inside there. works 100% now until i get a new asembley.


by the way, how in the heck do i remove the whole piece which has the sarter button and the kill switch?
