Have you ever checked for the hidden fuse /starter relay under the seat potty for melting as well. Lots of info on here just search for 'hidden fuse' .It's a wonder the bike starts with battery at 11.7v as it's as flat as a fart.

Do what i did and make a bigger flap out of rubber sheet to supplement the plastic sheild thats fixed to the underside of the seat potty and encase the relay in a plastic bag it's kept mine dirt free. Best of luck with finding short.

Iv'e only been towed once before and that was down the E10 in Belgium ,got a tank slapper where there were road works and all traffic was going down one carriageway and dropped it right infront of two police officers .I think we were told off for towing but as the tower was german and i a brit it was all foreign to us. One wanted to arrest us i think the other dident so we were told to be on our way to ostend to catch the boat.

Raise a complaint with AXA without delay as if your breakdown is with AXA then it's up to them to provide it and not to fob you off and making you do all the work. Compensation should be in the offering for the delay.

oddjob1 wrote: Pretty sure it has seat sensor bypass...so could the resistor have blown ..would this cause tilt lock problem? Or / and check wheel sensors? The most likely thing is that the connection to the resistor (or to the seat sensor if that's still in play) has come undone. Happens all the time when the seat's taken off and put back on again, which is necessary for many maintenance tasks. |
