    Hi I've got a 2000 te610e with 7500km on the clock and it's an absolute beast, love it. But while practicing wheelies up and down the road some of the electrics have failed on the bike, but in a very strange way. Noticed my rev counter was going a bit haywire and after I cut the bike out, it would not start off the button, there was nothing going to the starter motor. When the ignition is turned on, the neutral light comes on as normal, but the lights, indicators, horn and starter will not work. With a bump the bike starts and runs fine with the brake light working, and can even feel the starter working when I touch the button. Lights kind of work but very very dim, with the light switch off the rev counter will work up to 2K then drop back to 0 when it goes over. But with the light switch on, the rev counter will not work under 2K but as soon as it goes over it works fine, untill you drop it back down. The horn also kind of works with the light switch on, but not with it off. Cut the bike out and I'm back to the start with nothing working but the neutral light. Had a new battery a couple of months ago so unless I'm really unlucky and got a faulty battery I can't see it being the problem, but you never know.

    Any common electrical problems with this model I should be looking out for? Note - my sidelight LED was on its way out a couple weeks ago and started flashing, just didn't use it since. Not sure if it still works or its blown.

    Would appreciate any help :)

    1st thing I would look for is a bad ground. These bikes vibrate and sometimes things come lose.
    Other then that, a bare wire touching somewhere.
    Good luck.

    I would also check the fuses.
