    My taillight, horn, directionals and high bean have all gone out. I thought it was a fuse (or fuses) - and it may well be - but they occasionally come back to life in the middle of a ride, so Im wondering what else if it might be? pinched wires? Swedish curse? gremlins?

    Where should I look and what for?

    Great bike other than all the quirky twitches.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sounds like a grounding issue to me...do you have the electrical schematic?

    I do not have schematic.

    When the lights go out does the dash stay active?

    If so, ground issue or fuse are the first things I've found. I've also had to run a new wire front to back for the brake light, which for a reason only the Italians have, affected the rest of the lights as well (hit the brakes, all the lights went out - shorted, and popped fuse)

    If not, it can be the contacts in the key switch. Mine is starting to get funky like this, but the ignition also cuts out.

    mconway,

    Give me your email and I'll send my copy of the wiring diagram. It won't allow me to attach it here because it's a .docx document. I put it together as a quick reference that I could print rather than use the silly multi-language repair manual.
