working on the left
The only fuses you have are by the battery unless someone has put in-line fuses in. Start with checking the bulbs are not blown.

Re: Side light and odometer not working shorted
Bulbs are ok fuses are ok, must be something else stopping the side lights / odometer and dial lights etc from working. Indicators, brake ligths main and pass beams all work, the bike starts ok, horn works just the rest not lighting up, have to admit the wiring damn is a complete mess, fix one thing and something else goes lol. Trying to get the bike up read for sale.

Might be a bit much both cost & effort but if the wiring is so bad why not swap the loom ?Seven Of Nine Firestorm wrote:Bulbs are ok fuses are ok, must be something else stopping the side lights / odometer and dial lights etc from working.

Thats a good point how much would a new loom be tho ? If I can fix it with out paying any extra then that would be better for me. Need to find the old trusted multi meter and run over it lol. Bike will be going back to standard soon and up for sale cheap if anyone is looking for a project.

E-bay unless anyone has one on here.Seven Of Nine Firestorm wrote:Thats a good point how much would a new loom be tho ? If I can fix it with out paying any extra then that would be better for me.

Of course if you can trace the fault all the more the better.

Try taking off and cleaning the earth connection on the back of the clocks. If all of those are out, the only thing they share is a common earth.
They corrode due to condensation.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
