L/H bar wiring fried 2003 Gen 1 Tuono

Hi All,

I recently posted regarding the bike getting wet & now sulking. Had a proper look today & found the L/H switch gear totally fried (picture hopefully attached). It looks like I was not far away from
a major meltdown (the bike, not me yet).

The black shroud covering all the cables was full of moisture when I cut it away from the cables & both the front indicator wiring shows signs of overheating due to too much current flowing.

I think this is from a Falco (the bike came with it fitted) but can anyone confirm?

I have a watch on a local one taken from a 2000 Falco on Fleabay but just wanted to pick a few brains 1st.

Thanks in advance

Wow, that's crazy! Good thing you caught it. My turn signal switch is mashed from the PO lowering the bike and it connecting with the tank every hard turn so I was looking for a replacement as well. I bought the cheap ones off the flea (like $4) and look like they'll do the job, let me know if you want a link to them. I have to raise the bike first but after I figure out how to do that, I'll be making the swap. The cheap universal fit ones looked like they'll suit my bill because even the cheapest used OEM were over $30.

Hi Tuonomik,

I have a left hand switch unit if your interested - just PM me to agree a reasonable price. It's off my 2004 Tuono. Works perfect. Replaced it with one off a Mille which has a main beam switch.

I'm only 20 mins from Tamworth, so you could collect or will post if preferred.
