bugger indeed. thinking about it i think that im to blame to be honest. iv put a custom made subframe on the bike as the original one was cut in half. i had a battery off another bike that was too big for the battery box so i had it sitting on the swingarm while the bike was on paddock stands. i reckon when i started the bike that perhaps one of the battery terminals made contact with the frame? any how i need a new loom or if any one knows of someone who can make one. greatfull for any replies guys. thanx
