Weird problems with older motorcycle parts

Today we will be making retrospective by interviewing experienced motorcycle repair guy about his rarest motorcycle part issues he ever collided. If you want to share some weird problem please feel free to comment down bellow. Note* we’re talking about problems connected mostly to really old motorcycles, age 20-30 years.

 

 

Weird motorcycle part problem - The headlight comes on/ doesn’t want to turn off when the motorcycle gets wet:

 

Whenever the motorcycle gets wet from washing or raining the headlight comes on regardless of the off position of the headlight switch or the ignition switch. The only way to turn the headlight off is to disengage the battery.

 

 

Weird motorcycle part problem solution:

 

The most probable issue is that the wiring is getting wet and it holds water. The motorcycle must get wet so the headlight comes on again and then you’ll need to track the connections to find the short.

 

 

Another similar and hard for resolving problem – the high beam control light and the rear indicators are on but the motorcycle itself doesn’t want to start. Just the same as the previous problem the battery needs to be disengaged and after the first starting attempt the condition is the same.

 

This issue is mostly connected to the wirings but for resolving it needs to be inspected more carefully and the solution depends of the motorcycle parts and of the motorcycle brand.  

 

As I said before everyone is encouraged to share their stories associated with unusual motorcycle parts issues.
