Hi Folks, first time post.  Here goes

I have a buzzing noise coming from the 3rd relay box located under the front left fairing panel.  When the bike starts up the buzzing begins and on the instrument panel indicator and main beam lights stay on and don't go off as they should.  This means I have no headlight or flashers.

I was riding on Saturday and this happened once, so I turned it off and on again (just like the IT crowd suggest) and it was fine.  On Sunday morning I went out to the bike and started it and this problem wouldn't go away.  Basically riding with no headlight, no indicators and the dash panel lights staying on, as is the buzzing from the relay.

I have tried changing the relay, to no avail and also changed the relay assembly (located at the rear under the seat - the one with 3 plugs) again to no avail.  It is booked in to Kirkcaldy Kawasaki for diagnosis on the 21st July but I wondered if anyone had any similar problems or knew of any experts in the Edinburgh area who could assist.

I've also checked fuses.

Bike is a 2009 ABS GTR1400.

Any help much appreciated.

It sounds like you may have dirty/poor contacts on your switchgear, check main and dip light switch and any others associated with that relay.

Has the bike had any electrical jobs done on it in recent times?

What happens if you swap 2 relays?

Bike sorted everyone! Had an solution spark look at it and it was a bad earth on the light, and indicator relay. £40 fix so well happy
