I had a recent accident on my honda c90, the frame bent and my dad had to do some welding on it, not to mention re painting the whole dam thing. He decided NOT to label or take any notice what was plugged where and now we have no idea what should or shouldn't be plugged in as i recall some wires were not connected. We had the electrical system working, the right indicator being the main cause for concern, it didn't flash but it would stay bright at the rear and dull at the front making a buzzing noise. the left indicator however worked fine. We replaced the right indicator with a lower wattage bulb which made it flash fast but flash non the less only doing the buzzing noise intermittently. i took the bike for a spin round the street and when i turned it off and on again the ignition light wouldn't come on and the rest of the electrics which worked when the engine was off now don't work. These systems worked prior to running the bike however. now BOTH indicators don't work and the headlights and rear lights are dim. I have no idea why this is because the bikes electrics worked fine prior to the restoration. its possible we havent wired it up right, can anyone give me any advice? Sad Sad Sad Sad


The bike is almost road worthy and I really need to get it back on the road since it is my only means of transport, Please help!

Is the battery ok? Same battery after the crash?

The only advice I can suggest (which you'll probably hate) is get the manual out and start checking each circuit with a multimeter.

Buzzing sounds like a loose connection or damaged wire somewhere along the circuit.
