Aight I give, NC30 freaks/maintainers please help :mrgreen:

[cypher]

Got a odd problem, the parking lights appear to not be working on my 90' NC30. Hi and Low beam on main works with no issues at all.

Any fuses, weak points I need to check? Both bulbs are fine. Got a useful part of your haynes you can scan and put up? Mine is coming

Thanks in advance

im sure they dont have parking lights, on the imports anyhow.
if the brake lights arent working altogether then check the fuses in the box.

Just has the marking and the switch position on the switchgear is what made me think it should work.

The brake lights come on (dimly as I would expect) with the switch in the "P" position. Shouldnt that also mean a dim glow from the headlights?


If im wrong then tell me to shut up and I shall strike it off my list

Usually, "P" on the ignition will switch on the sidelight at the front and tail-light at the rear. Pretty useless on a bike since the battery will be flat in hours.

Need to poke this thread. Im still baffled.

Anyone know what might be stopping the parking lights from working?

I have checked for any blatantly loose connections and cant seem to find any. The headlights work just fine in other modes. Dipped and Main work without issue with a healthy click from the relay. The taillight and clocks light up in the "P" position.

What other places can be checked? What are the facts on parking lights on NC30's are they actually not on the imports?

If it doesnt matter in an MOT situation then great, but this is a problem that will annoy me after a while.

you've probably had a new ignition barrel at some point.

Try a multimeter, start at the bulb and work your way back along the wire. Just make sure it is well earthed, connecting to neg on battery best idea.
Has the light switch got a position where only sidelight is on ?
Best guess, as above or wire has broken somewhere around headstock.
Tis about all you can do.

Assuming you are 100% sure bulb is OK.
