Hi,The horn on my ets 250 only works with the lights switched off,as soon as i turn the side lights on it tries to make a noise and when i turn on headlight no noise whatsover,this is with the engine running,when the engines not running theres no horn at all,i've just put the battery on charge ,the bike is left stood for quite long periods,any suggestions please.
Ta Phil.

I've always found this to be down to corroded terminals, so I suggest that you replace with new.

Thanks,when you say terminals do you mean battery terminals?

at the horn
also the horn has a contact in side that gets dirty over time
some horns can be taken apart and that contact cleaned
some can not be taken apart

Be a good idea to clean all your earth (ground) points too.

Had the battery on trickle all night,and all works fine now,i've cleaned the horn contacts for good measure,looks like i could do with a new battery though.Thanks for all the advice.

ps ...just as a matter of interest,went for a ride this morning and it seems to go a bit better (more power) than it did before i charged the battery,why would this be? :-D

It's probably down to a better spark, giving a cleaner burn of the fuel.
