Hi all, more probs from the 06 uly, Engine cut out today 30 miles from home and put an end to my sunday adventure. Red lights on dash. Turned ignition off then when turned back on fuel pump was on off on off all the time.. Starter button was dead..Made sure all fuses were snug. Also no headlight, only parking light..Had a chat with Adam and agreed on a AA fix,, then, as if by magic, the intermittent pump noise stopped and bike started, so i got home.
Engine ran home fine but still no headligjts and neutral light comes on every time clutch is pulled in..
Any help much appreciated,
Cheers Paul.

Still love riding the bike but these electrical issues are painful.

PS

Just washed her and same again. Fuel pump sounds like windscreen wiper motor, then ignition on and off a few times bike starts and at the moment i have a headlight.. Neutral light still coming on when clutch pulled iin ??? Maybe its repairing itself like a terminator...

Not an owner of an XB but I believe there can be issues with the wiring harness by the headstock. Chafes through???

Thanks for reply,

Ye, i rekon prob is prob in this aea..I think the design to squeeze any moisture from the harness with the fork on a full left lock is a bit flawed...

Also ulys are known to have a fuel pump wiring problem that can't be seen with the pump in situ. It has to be pulled to check for this. sorry to be the bearer of bad news. With the other lighting problems I'd check around the headstock first though

All the woes on my M1 were down to a poor earth diagnosed by , why don't you take it to the Emporium and actually get it fixed once and for all.

Gonna ring a mate first but if he dont fancy it, it may well end up with our No 1 tech man..

Got in touch with manchester dealer i bought bike off and they will sort it but would appreciate if i could get bike to them. Carole nash insurance comes with breakdown and homestart cover.You can arrange bike pickup 24hrs prior, so i will see how that goes thursday evening for friday pickup..Anyway, whilst talking to dealers machanic who confessed not being a buell expert he said, if they carnt fix it they know a man who can, not too far away who they will get in touch with..They said, hes a bit of a character and goes by the name of ...you guessed it.....

cut out the middle man

go straight to the man who knows what he's doing rather than some "guestimater "

Still under warranty. .just.

on a slight aside ..

my old XBR was under warranty when HD did a headlight recall
the main dealer put them in the wrong way around , even though they were clearly marked
left & right
