I hope the harness isn’t the issue, that’ll mean more cold nights in the garage! Or a replacement harness from a wrecker, they’re about NZ$15 here (GBP $7). Nothing to say that it wouldn’t have issues either though – luck of the draw I guess.
Thanks for the heads up on the diodes, I’ll have to look into them to get a better understanding. I had an issue with a KTM 450 motard a couple years ago where I had issues with both the left and right LED indicators turning on at the same time whenever I used the indicator. I traced it back to the indicator lamp on the dash – the dash indicator lamp shared the common wire and the LED’s allowed the power to flow both ways causing them to both switch on. After a bit of research all I had to do was put a NZ$0.65 diode in the common line in the dash and it solved my problem – I saw it as type of 1-way valve.
Yep, the neutral sensor was confirmed early as it was showing on the screen and it would go ‘out’ when I put it in gear.
Are these the diodes wrapped up in the photos below? The front one is in a heatshrink cacoon and the rear one is a rectangular brick – is that right?
