May 13, 201410 yr Moderator cant think whats wrong right now, can you get your hands on another meter and repeat the tests, see if you get 12v ? oh one more thing, does the 19v brown wire reading change much if you operate the horn push?
May 13, 201410 yr Author I didn't try operating the controls while the multimeter was on I'll get a better multimeter tmoro and try it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 15, 201410 yr Author So, I got a new meter today and did a few more tests,battery voltage is 12.3, charge voltage 14.2 so regulators ok but I can't find any power anywhere else Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 15, 201410 yr Author 12.3 same as batt, pressing horn push did nothing too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 15, 201410 yr Moderator desnt make sense to me, as long as youve got a voltage on the brn wire you have feeds to various bits of kit, lights / horn etc...cant think of a reason why they wont work as yet.
May 15, 201410 yr Author Me either lol Was wondering if it could be the condenser after reading yamahamikes thread about his 175 from a couple of weeks ago but his bike wasn't sparking where mine does Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 15, 201410 yr Author Tbh I don't even no if my bike has a condenser :/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 15, 201410 yr Author Lol didn't even no what it was tbh Just found out its the capacitor lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 15, 201410 yr Moderator well then, if the voltage is leaving the keyswitch on brn and not reaching (for example) the brake switch on brn, then something between the two has disconnected or theres a break in the wiring
May 15, 201410 yr Author Here's hoping it's not a break in the wiring Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 15, 201410 yr Moderator Here's hoping it's not a break in the wiring Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The usual place for a break is where the loom goes around the steerer tube at the front, try turning the bars lock to lock with the key on and the brake pressed...anything?
May 15, 201410 yr Moderator do the contacts inside the plug and socket on the ignition switch look ok and check the brn wires are secure?
May 15, 201410 yr Author Yes, I've checked every connection I could see lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 15, 201410 yr Moderator the only other thingI can think to try to prove the loom is duff is this, unplug the rear brake switch and secure a piece of wire (jumper) between the brn connector to the loom and the battery +, you should find that lights, horn etc now work...disconnect the keyswitch and using your multimeter check the voltage at the loom brn again, you should find you have nothing at that point if your loom is broken. Take the utmost care with the jumper connected to the battery because if you touch any frame components it will spark, so it needs a lot of care. Only do this if you feel competent not because I told you to I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by your errors. It would be safer with an inline fuse in the jumper too.
