hi my brother has a st1300a/2 2004 and it has recently developed a major electrical fault - can anyone shed any light to this please or has anyone had any similar problem? Basically it will start but when its running if you switch on anything electrical, ie lights or indicators or even the screen .. it shuts down, the engine cuts out and the side lights stay on and ALL the indicators stay on - not flashing just on permanent .. it seems in some sort of shut down or safe mode. With the battery disconnected it re-sets and then starts but then the same happens when you turn on anything electrical again - its driving us mad!!
We have tried all the standard stuff with fuses and relays etc all has been checked and all seems fine and still its the same. We have found some info that there was a recall for some yellow connector under the tank that got hot and caused a similar issue but the bike has been fine for months until this issue and we are desperate to sort it .. cant really afford to take to a workshop so would very much appreciate anyone ideas or feedback from anyone that has had a similar experience or knows what it could possibly be - many thanks up front !!
