Default Can you help?

Hi everyone,

I think I may have a slightly unique problem and I'm hoping there's someone who can help me.

I have a CBR125 R4 (Carb model). The other day I was fitting new indicators all the while checking and double checking that things were working as well as they should. I managed to wire up both front indicators without and hitch and was pretty pleased with my progress until the time came to fit the rear set. I had just set up the rear right and turned on my ignition to make sure it would blink away and this was when the problems started. All the indicators suddenly came on and stayed solid so I turned off the ignition and tried again. It didn't work. Now my neutral light won't come on, the bike won't start with the electric starter and the indicators will not do a thing. However, my headlight both high and low beam, taillight and dash all light up without an issue.

I'm almost at a loss but I'm determined to get back on the road. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all in advance.

Re the indicators, they are prob working just blinking too fast for the human eye to see, I had the same prob and bought a better brand with higher resistance.

You've also most likely disturbed a wire somewhere re the starting issue.

The problem happened when you were working on the rear indicators, so that's where I'd start.

Remove everything that you did to the bike, then check all fuses on the bike. If you find any blown fuses, replace them and try starting it again.

Sounds like you may have earthed something that shouldn't be earthed.
