Sam250 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I'm way out of my comfort zone with electronics so any information that will help get her back on the road greatly appreciated.Here is the story:viewtopic.php?f=3&t=57028I've finally got time to work on this in the near future but I don't know where to start. I will send off these pictures to a garage or two and see how much they think it will cost, but if there is anything I can do myself to bring the cost down, and also just to learn more about my bike, I'm eager to do so.http://s18.postimg.org/uj2onpthl/IMG_20150510_105925474.jpghttp://s18.postimg.org/ept4tih6x/IMG_20150510_105718143.jpghttp://s18.postimg.org/g3krotgg9/IMG_20150510_105724157.jpghttp://s18.postimg.org/hq9za1si1/IMG_20150510_105730103.jpghttp://s18.postimg.org/6gh9f3ngp/IMG_20150510_105806541.jpghttp://s18.postimg.org/kaa7hw5ft/IMG_20150510_105835346.jpghttp://s18.postimg.org/5s8ew5oqx/IMG_20150510_105657527.jpgThe damage as far as I can see:The ignition switch pillar was removed from the handlebars. Is it possible to reattach this, or can a new one be fitted? The spark plug cable has been disconnected from the plug. I think there is a plastic cover missing that fits between the cable and the plug. Can I simply reconnect these with the cover? I've been told the fuse is missing from the battery. I imagine this is straightforward to replace. Wires coming out from below the dashboard have been exposed. This is beyond me, I'm sure this is something a shop will have to sort out. Has anyone had similar troubles? What steps did you take to fix it up? Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 the ign has been broken off the fork yoke it can be replaced and the loose wires under the headlight will go to a multiplug possibly inside the headlight unit itself they have simply cut the wires between the ign and the plug by looks of it,to replace fuse is simple job,the spark plug lead is missing the cap just buy new one and it will screw onto the black lead then fit onto spark plug Quote
Grumpy Old Git Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 You could rejoin the wires (preferably individually soldered and protected with heat shrink tubes) or put a new multi-pin connector (waterproof) in.Replacing the complete wiring harness is not a simple task for a total novice and will require a decent set of tools.Mostly do-able though.Have you got a 'crime number' ? You could put the repair through your insurer. Quote
