I'll try and keep this simple. My Bike is a 2004 UK model
For some time I have been running an Acumen digi gear indicator, they come in two forms Hard wire and plug in and play. I have the plug in and play which basically just a short spur that plugs in between the bike loom and the clocks. Now this all works fine.
I have Just bought a Raptor Performance shift light it has three wires to install. A switched live, a ground, and the tacho pick up.
Originally I ran a separate switched live and ground up and spliced the tacho pick up into the plug in and play loom, I did this so I wouldn't have to disturb the original loom. Everything worked as it should in my garage the shift light goes through its start up sequence etc, and it works as it should on paddock stands the shift light coming on at what ever rpm is set.
HERES THE PROBLEM when I go out for a ride the shift light intermittently flashes at me often when I shift gear and some times for no reason at all..
Any Ideas so far.
Today I decided to re wire the shift light direct into the main loom, live went to orange/grn, ground to Black/white and tacho to yellow/blue. Again its all working fine in the garage.
Just as an experiment and because I was wondering if the gear indicator was affecting the shift light because they share the same tach wire I unplugged the plug in and play harness and then plugged the main harness direct into the clocks so leaving only the shift light wired in.
Here's the funny thing The clocks stopped working, when I turn the ignition on they power up but don't zero and tacho the clock and the odometer don't work. But if I plug the plug in and play harness back in line then it all works again.
Im stumped. any Ideas any one Please.
