oz_johonno is in Australia, I'm not sure it would be cost effective to send it that distance (10,200 miles, 16,400 km).

I would not be so sure.  I think it cost me under $20 US for relay, and even with shipping he probably would still save money based upon what his dealer is asking.   [smiley=2cents.gif]

Through the dealers here they are $23.00 and with Rick at Motorrad only selling for $20.00.

I guess it's up to oz_johonno, as to what he chooses !!!

What exactly is wrong with the relay ?

My first relay started giving me problems a few years after getting the bike, I adjusted the movable arm, it wasn't moving far enough for the contacts to close when activated, it lasted another 17 years before failing completely .

Don't know if this will help out or not .
