Hello Everyone- I have a bad connection in my ignition wiring -- Does anybody know if there is a crimped connection in the wiring that hangs or goes under the HandleBars ?? Any help would really be appreciated!!!!Thanks Bob!

Wire from the Headlight relay? BTW, if the HLight relay goes ka-putt, the bike goes dead.

More info-- on fuse #5 on one side of fuse only getting .5 V instead of 12V other side of fuse getting 12v -- ignition switch taken apart and cleaned- kill switch taken apart and cleaned - it's in that circuit -- thanks Bob

Also- new relays

Just thinking from the opposite end. Wouldn't that happen if the neutral safety went bad thinking you were in gear?

More info - just put in new neutral safety switch several weeks ago and fixed wiring to it and still can't get 12 V out of both sides of # 5 fuse to run ignition - have a bad connection somewhere- checked all connections wires at wits end - any suggestions appreciated!!!

Have you mapped out via a schematic back from #5 fuse to give you an idea as to where to look in your harness for a break in continuity? Schematics have been posted here before (vault) if you don't have access to one.

You might as well add the sidestand safety switch to your tests. You can short that connector to simulate the stand being up to make that easier to eliminate as a source for your problem.

There is a safety switch attached to the clutch lever too. I had to pull the wires caveman style, twist the wires together to get home one time. All these safety interlocks are great unless a train is coming.

I rode safely for years with none of those safetys.

All my safety switches test good --all been replaced except clutch which tested good over and over- got a bad connection where wires clip together. It's interment- that's why it's killing me finding it.. I appreciate any ideas you guys might have!!!!!!!
