Just got bike out of shop-signals jacked up

2000R1Devil · Feb 28, 2014

Just got the bike out of the shop for a valve adjustment and new chain and sprockets.

Anyway, now somehow my signals/lights are acting up. On the dash, the indicator turn signal lights are both dimly lit at the same time.

The front left turn signal/running light is out and the right rear blinker works but the same bulb the running light isnt working. WTF? What could they have screwed up?

Im not taking the bike back to them A. because its too far and B. if they messed this up then i dont want them working on it again.

Should i look at fuses or relays? Anyone else ever experience this?

Check your bulbs. If one or more are burned out, it can cause strange things to happen.

Or poor connections at the plugs or pinched wires seeing as they would have had the panels off.

Thanks guys. I'll check the bulbs and pull the fairings and check the wiring. The right rear turn signal works but the tail light doesnt even though its a one filament bulb. Very strange. The front left turn signal and running light dont work (two filament bulb for that one). I'll check fuses and relays as well. Im sure when the shop had the fairings off they pulled or pinched some wires. ARGH

Found it! Or well found one of the problems. I have the flushmount front signals and i checked the wiring to the the left front thats not working. Sure enough the black wire (with white stripe) has been ripped away from the bulb socket housing. Gonna have to solder it back on there is guess?

This still doesnt explain the right rear tail light not working but its a start.
