TS 185 Electrics
 

Hi Folks

Any ideas ?? I have a TS 185 ER (1980) which runs when the key switch is set in the middle position, no lights etc, however when I turn the key to the next position, the engine cuts out immediately.

Whilst I am asking questions... how do you differentiate between the ERN ERT and ERX ?? I believe mine is a ERN ??

Thanking you happy folks

Hi Kevin sounds like a faulty key switch or a short on the lights try un plugging the front/rear lights and the light switch if it works just trace the fault back from there. steve

Will try that out Steve.. Thanks for the input !!

From what I can remember of my TS185 the third position was just parking lights without the engine running, the lights came on with a separate handlebar switch on the left next to the dip switch.

Hi when you turn the key to the third position can you remove it from the switch if so it must be parking lights .that is side lights on engine off hope that helps ..steve
