XL500s Electrical problems and such |
Marten, Holland said 2004-09-20 20:47 |
Hello XL-lovers, I´ve bought one of these a couple of months ago, and I like it a lot. It´s exactly the bike I´ve wanted for years(well okay, I´ve got my license for like.. 2 years) Before this bike I owned a Jawa TS 350 ´98 (2 stroke), which I also loved. But unfortunately the engine failed. I bought my Honda XL 500 S ´81 for 300 euros, which is absolutely nothing, but hey. I did have to take the engine apart to replace the thingies that close the top off. So I pretty much know what goes where now (except for that one bolt..dammit!) The pertaining problems are a minor leakage at the head, and problems of electrical sorts. To begin with, my indicators don´t work(bulbs are okay). And if I disconnect the back-end, the front indicators do work! So It´s probably found in shortcircuiting or a bad grounding. Secondly my headlight is aimed way high, even though I have the thing the right way round. Maybe the inside reflector is in a wrong place?(if there is such a thing..) Any suggestions are welcome at my email, or a reply here. Greetings from the Netherlands! Marten |
