Re: Turn signal intermittent

I am posting late in the thread sorry. Over the years of riding I have had similar failures. Sometimes the issue is a simple fix of just cleaning plugs and contacts.

Start with the simple stuff first, check the connections. St.

Re: Another /6 Electrical Question

Scotch? LOL, sometimes the crimped on connectors are the first sign of "previous owner's disease" The wiring diagram is correct, White, Red, Yellow, black/gray. So the other is wrong, it is from the universal fit fairing. I will bet if you find the factory harness it might solve some of yo...

Re: Dual disc for a 1976 R90/6.

Not to be a jerk or burst your bubble however, parts to do what you want to do may be difficult to find. I say this as you are not the only one who wants to go dual. The good news is there maybe parts out there from someone who switched from the ATE dual brakes to Brembo brakes. I did that swap on m...

Re: Another /6 Electrical Question

Re: Fiamm horn/relay question.

Solid color wires are usually non controlled, by this I mean no switches, relays, pure power. Color wires with stripes or dashes are controlled. Yes, the green/black wire is the power+ for the horn itself. It originates at the left side of the top fuse, goes to the stater relay pin #86. From there i...
