No electric's 1977 Z1000A1

[Sam Johnson]

Just been out on the bike did about 80miles, no issues running great all electric's working. Went to make a right turn at very low speed to call on my elderly mother and the bike stopped DEAD. No ignition lights nothing!

Checked the main fuse, its fine, battery is fully charged. Wiggled all the wires I could see still nothing.

Pushed it up the hill to my mothers and put it in her garage.

Any ideas as to what to look for etc?

Thanks in advance

Either fuse box ceonnections or fuse.... make sure fuse is locating in holder prongs.

Connection to ignition switch dodgy.... block at headstock or in h/lamp?

Change the fuse, I have had a few (5 so far this year ) main fuses blow right at the end and the fuse still looks ok , I put it down to Chinese made shite.

Wiring loom broken where it goes round the headstock?

[Tonka]

Ignition switch or connection.

As per Pigford
FUSES --
Sometimes the ends of the fuse vibrate away from the contact cap at the end - so they can apppear at at glance to be ok but actually have vibrated loose.

Well worth double checking

If it is a fuse then they blow for a reason, so given he was turning the bars when it all went dead I'd be looking at looms around the headstock area.

Gents,

Thanks for all the advice it was very helpful.


Problem now SORTED, it was the connection block from the ignition switch
to the power supply by the headstock. Will clean the block up when I get time and make sure there is plenty of 'loose' wire around that area.

Thanks again to all

Sam

I would still think about changing to blade fuses
