do none of the indicators work?


check the indicator relay.. lift the seat and it'll be off to one side (possibly behind a side panel..), its a small black box, should have 3 pins..


the fuse box will be under the seat too, but i don't remember the indicators having a fuse,

I still think its the relay, it shpuld click when you turn the indicators on, so turn them on and see if what your looking at clicks, or if anything clicks under the seat (remove it first) if not, then the relay has gone.. or the connections need cleaning..

after a bit of ebay searching ive found the right one, it was the one i pulled out, no clicking at all.


new one ordered from ebay :)

Well new unit is here and still no indicators,


knackered switch possibly?

Posted

since topping up the oil, (possibly before i havent noticed)



the bike has begun to clunk into first gear and it is impossible to shift into neutral whilst the engine is running, could i possibly have put too much oil in?


ive adjusted the clutch lever to nop avail (not that i know if im adjusting it correctly)


does anyone know what is causing this?

mine clunks into first, but only first thing.. as for neutral have you tried releasing the clutch slightly and giving it a go..


check your sight glass for your oil level, hold the front brake and pull the bike level, and look at the oil window, the front brake stops the bike running away..

if its completely filling the window youll need to take some out, a large syringe and a length of tubing works best..


clutch.. when riding it are you getting clutch creep, the bikes moving forwards.. needs adjusting, or when releasing the clutch and adding throttle, loads of revs but not much momentum, again needs adjusting.. check the posts on here, it been covered recently..

does the new unit click.. try both left and right, it should click.. if it doesnt with the side that works.. then its not the flasher relay you've got..


I could do a run up to whitehaven, sunday?

That would be really helpfull. But i go on holiday sunday evening so would be earlyish if possible

Posted

nope i havent,


they dont light up on the dash nor does any of the indicators so dismissed the possibility


i assume they will be wired paralell rather than series?

tomorrow take out the relay you replaced and turn the head light on.. i'm wondering if you replaced the wrong relay..

if with the relay removed the headlight doesn't come on replace the relay and try again, this will confirm if its the headlight relay..



if nothing lights then theres got to be something can't be all 4 bulbs.. so still thinking its the flasher relay. hopefully mines the same so we can put mine on to test on sunday...

Ryan, i've posted a link to a GPZ500 Manual, however it doesnt cover any modifications to the bike after 1993, so yours may be different in areas as it is a 1999. (wiring diagram connectors for one..)


anyway have found that the left switchgear has more than one connector so as discovered today, you will need to gain access to the connectors (remove the tank. or at least undo it..)


so your problem is down to a loose connection.

right back off holiday, all 121 emails sorted, time to get to work. i will let you guys know what happens

Success



Sort of


got all indicators working (one of the pins in the block connector under the tank was bent out of shape)


and i can now get into neutral from first when the engine is running.


took it out for a ride but now the front indicators are not working and it still clunks into first. i suspect the front indicators is another connection problem as i had all four and both stopped at the same time. i probably knocked one loose.


however the 1st clunking puzzles me it didnt do it before i topped the oil up and now ive emptied it and started from scratch ive got neutral back but still clunky, possibly still too much oil?


it just reaches the top of the eyeglass when the bike is upright

congrats on getting the indicators fixed, you've probably got another loose connection to one side..


older bikes clunk into first afterstart up, once the oil is warm and you've used the gears for a while it should lessen.. to solve this i sometimes start with the stand up, clutch in and in 1st..


top of the eyeglass is right level for oil..

Posted

sounds good ill give it a good run out in a bit to see if it loosens off, im hoping that it developed it due to me putting too much oil in and that it will go after a while seen as ive emptied it


thanks again for the help

Rightio i think ive got it. riding back from the local bike shop i lost power as if i had hit the reserve but i had plenty of petrol in


jumping off the bike i checked all the pipes to make sure there was no kink in the pipe and nothing the bike also wouldnt start. then i heard the petrol cap squealing sucking in air. i took the seat off and realised where i had detatched the tank trying to fix the indicators i had taken off the breather pipe and when putting it back on i had trapped it under the seat, re-routed and bike still wouldnt start, so as i was rocking it to get the petrol into the card i spotted a red connector block completely disconnected under the instrument panel. connected this and now the front indicators work, very happy!


everything seems to be ok now, the clunking is even a little easier, so this weekend means alot of biking and then to the local classic show with my brother and the minis


thanks for everyones help especially WalneyFrankie for coming to take a look
