I removed the Hannigan fairing from my 78 R100S - had to take it off to get access to the headlight wiring to replace right handlebar switch. While it was off I decided to go naked for a while. Replaced both left and right switches on the handlebar. When I powered up the neutral light is on and does not go off and the horn does not work- everything else functions as it should. I have done some quick assessments of the wiring and switches and all looks good so I am getting ready to open things up and see what I can find. Two questions I am hoping to find out before I dig in.
I read somewhere that these two circuits have some diode behind the board in the headlight in common - could this be the problem? I cannot find whatever article I read about that and certainly might not have my usual perfect recall about what I read as I did not have any issues at that point.
It seems unusual that the neutral switch would get stuck on. I believe this bike has the switch that engages when the plunger is pushed in any ideas of things to check before I pull the trans and replace the switch?
Thanks for any ideas.
