Indicators one side and not the other when in 4th??

[Fireman Ash]

No here's a good one. Rode to work this morning on my Ser.80 Serveta (battery, indicators, 6v) and when in 4th gear indicating left, no probs, when indicating right, no indicators unless I tweaked the gearshift back slightly.

I reckon that by adjusting the newly fitted cables (which have loosed up since) it would help as it's only when in 4th the gear shift is at its furthest part of travel as far as the gearselector handlebar is concerned. Hope this makes sense.

It's possible that the indicator wire for the side (right hand) is maybe being crushing inside the headset when in 4th gear, which is stopping power to the bulbs (or lamps rather)

Any help by you elec gurus would be appreciated.

Cheers all

Sounds like you've got a broken/breaking wire, I think orange is right hand side. Did you fix your fuse blowing problem? if not then this is probably where that fault is as well.

Wow, thanks for remembering the fuse and countless sleepless nights......when it failed the MOT it was found (now don't laugh) that the bulb filament was actually faulty and was only working occasionally. New bulb and all seem ok to the untrained eye it deceivingly looked functional, intact and in fact was a new hence why I discounted it from my investigations

Bout my new electrical woes, seems you beat me to it!! just checked under the headset in between fire calls (rather cats up trees) and it would appear that there may be a break in the wire from the switch to where they connect to the loom which is affected when the gear shift in and around 4th gear. Obviously stretching the wire and giving intermittent power.

So it'll be switch out when I get home, test for breaks, repair and rewire as you've suggested around the gearshaft. This should hopefully prevent it stretching and breaking again

Ain't much room though under there is there...tight as foo*!! :shocking:

Cheers again bro
