Hi Docc You have a great forum here - I seem to have fixed my problem within a few hours so many thanks to all who posted ! I am going to undertake a beefing up as some of the cabling and connectors are horribly fragile . it looks ugly under the tank !....lovely motorcycle though cheers again Motocomiot Well done,glad it was an easy fix !! Remember to check that rear shock (see here ) I checked the shock (thanks for advice) mine is OK (at the moment) but any tips for spare parts sellers on the web as it looks like something I might like to keep in the old toolbox for the inevitable rainy day ! cheers

Hi The red/black wire is broken/burnt somewhere although I haven't found out exactly where just yet - I just ran another wire as an interim fix but I am planning to find the break this weekend while replacing some other iffy looking connectors/wiring under the tank - I was also planning a destruction test (pass increasing amperage via a serial motor and rheostat) on a sample of the tacho/dash wires as they are so fine I suspect they get hardened on overload before any fuse blows which will lead to easy vibration breakage later - I will update with findings in a couple of days.... I think I may replace a few things like the regulator/rectifier on general fragility grounds as well - I have a few odd japanese things knocking around the garage... Thanks again for your help..

Hi Thanks for that - R2 tests out OK and it's connectors were sound so I went for the +12 option - tacho had nothing but regulator was +12.2 so I ran a new wire (slightly sturdier) Result - All working perfectly ! Thanks for your help - really impressed with this forum

Hi I found the manual (just moved house) attached is scanned wiring diag. - the scan isn't too good - I'll try again tomorrow...

Hi I'll scan the schematic when I find the thing Horn works none of the above idiot lights come on at all charging is fine - I have run it for a week and the battery is cranking away just fine Thanks for the help - I will investigate relay 2 - it sounds like the most likely issue - I will test contact tomorrow Thanks for all help so far......

Hi As I am a Brit I have been patriotically been buying the Hinckley made Triumphs for 15 years and have loved most of them but the Thruxton I have is just too slow I'm afraid soooo...... I just bought a V11 Sport - fantastic - love it - must be 20 years since I rode a 'Guzzi - how did they make the weight disappear ? !Same way Triumph did I guess.... Anyway to get to the point: The Tacho does not work - (it wobbles the needle to 500 rpm then gives up), Fuel low light, charging light and oil light are also out although the Hi beam, Indicator and Neutral idiot lights are working......I am assuming that at least Oil and Charge would come on with ignition on before starting ? - bulbs are OK by the way and everything else works too including the light in the Tacho itself... I read a few threads and electrical faults don't seem uncommon but are fairly specific ? - I replaced the 5 Siemens relays opposite the fusebox with Omron ones as a matter of course as I have come across those Siemens things before and don't like the little suckers.... Before I dive in with multimeter between my teeth and snipe nosed pliers in hand........has anyone else had this problem......? Cheers
