lights, sometimes I do not. The motorcycle hasn't moved, weather is not an issue. Through my own diagnosis, with online help, I believe the issue to be the dc/dc converter signal from the main bike board. The manufacturer has been contacted by phone and email, and has ignored me, the local dealer has been contacted in person and by phone, and has ignored me. I have an unsafe vehicle that is just over 2 years old with 3227 miles on it.
The head lights, tail lights, indicator lights, and horn all failed simultaneously. The bike is now completely silent and has no ability to light up or blow the horn. This condition makes the bike extremely dangerous to ride on the road. The problem manifested in between rides. All the systems worked one day and failed the next day. These systems are on two separate fuses and they are in fine shape.
