Have a 2001 Sporty Custom which I bought from a friend. When I picked it up. he mentioned that the front left turn indicator has stopped working. I jiggled a wiring connector (under the left side of the gas tank) and the turn light turned on. I made a small wedge from some electrical tape and placed it under the connector and it was fine.
I took about a 400 mile trip on the bike, and noticed that the headlight low beam was no longer working, so I set the high beam which worked fine. At one point during the trip I had lunch, started the bike, and noticed the speedometer stopped working for about 15 seconds, but came back to life. When I got home and pulled into my garage, my bike shut down as if I had hit the kill switch (which could possibly been an unnoticed bump of the kill switch). I turned the key to the off position, then back on and stated the bike fine, but then noticed the headlight was not working in either high or low beam.
Are all of these electrical items connected to the electrical system via the same connector? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
