Couple of months ago, got on my bike one morning, and none of my lights were working....

I had ridden home the night before and didnt have any problems, no flickering, not excessively bright.

buzzed out wiring loom... no shorts, put the loom back in.... battery shorted and power AND earth cables melted.

buzzed out loom on bike last night... all three wires leading to the headlight are earthing out with the bike switched on and not running.

Regulator/rectifier works fine. bike runs fine... having to ride wit battery not connected to avoid the shorting

Unsure what to make of this, bit of a noob at electrical stuff and crap at troubleshooting, tried all I can to no avail :'(

Sumthing has to be shorting steve" melted wires, is it a 12 or 6 volt system?

check that nobody has stolen your bulbs,

you nether know,
