I changed my battery today (fully charged it and everything) and now my indicators have stopped working. Ive checked the wires by the headlight, but even then one loose wire would not cause all the lights, including the dash light, to stop working. Anybody got any ideas? Ive got a Suzuki EN 125 2a. Cheers

Check for a bad earth or a faulty indicator relay.

I had trouble with my indies not so long back and it turned out to be the earth connections. Thumbs Up

My grod is a 1983 CB125TDC and has weird wiring (compared to other bikes) and was a PITA to trace. I got help off this forum from the 'little Honda god' that is Teflon Mike.

Just trying to pass on knowledge gained from others. Wink

Let us all know how you get on.

I tried putting the other battery in, no luck. Then I plugged in my alarm with the ignition off, caused the rear right indicator to flash for about 30 seconds. I then wiggled the wiring by the headlight (after ordering a new fucking relay) and they all worked. I'm getting a mechanic to check it all over as I'm useless with the electrics.

Thanks guys, I'll let you know how I get on
