Diode Failure

[Tonybloke88]

Does anyone know where the Diode is physically located in the wiring loom on a Baggy?

Mine has failed leaving me without any side lights! but the park lights work, which suggests that the diode is the cause of the problem.

not sure where but the ones in my rt125 can cause you some
headaches when using a ohm /volt meter to check problems

if you do not know there in the circut

I found it!!

If any one else needs to find it then the diode is taped inside the loom. Its marked with a wrap of yellow tape and is half way along the top tube. When you open the loom you will see 4 grey wire comming from the front and one going from the rear all meeting inside a peice of black shrink wrap. The diode is inside the shrink wrap.

Mine had broken in half! so I routed a couple of wires back towards the air box and fitted a more robust item on spade connectors.

Thanks for that - details of the item you fitted, where you got it etc would be good
Thanks

Hey I had to replace two broken diodes in my harness. I was able to replace them with ones I got from radioshack... they only carry one diode which is rated at 3amps. Those are the ones you need

Would anyone know where the tail light / instrument light diode is located on a Skorpion Replica?

I removed mine and redid the wiring through the switch on the right handlebar. Now the lights work as they should.
