Left work at 10 got about half a mile and the electrics started dying until the bike spluttered to a halt, bump it 5 mins later get another 100 m from it but now won't do it anymore!

Pretty sure it's todo with the new indicators and relay that was fitted yesterday, this is fucking bollocks, any way to sort this? Got no tools so is a long shot? It's a cbr 125

Fairly new battery only 1 month old


Posted here for more views, sorry.

Is there fuel in the tank?

Fuel helps


Edit - Check fuses, then check for smell of burning. Try disconnecting the indicators if you think thats the issue then bump again. Even with shot electrics as long as its carb'd and revs kept high, will usually run.

Where abouts are you?

You're going to need a multimeter if you're dealing with an electrical gremlin!

You are asking a lot from very little info.

How far is it to home? Might be easier to push it and wait until tomorrow.

Simple answer is that it sounds like the battery is flat. Go charge.

If you want useful help, why not put take the effort to write a descriptive thread title.
I'm sure everyone wants more views. What makes you more special?

Get yourself a wiring diagram for a start.

If you think it's the indicators, try taking the fuse for the indicators out. Charge up the battery if you can, then try again without indicators.

Multimeters can be bought for very little, but you can also bodge up a bulb to a couple of wires as a basic test for where voltage is and isn't.

Understandable G, apologies. Just that My phone for some reason wouldn't make outbound calls and I was stuck at the roadside after a 13 hour shift. So I had no tools or anything really. Was posted on my phone.

Decided to turn back and leave my bike at a train station chained up, walked back and just got in Twisted Evil

Fuck this, so shitty in the sleet/snow, thanks for your help.
