My horn isn't working (Street Triple) anyone got any ideas. I'll try spraying the contacts at the horn itsel fwith WD40 tonight. All other electrics OK.

I found this out as the car I was overtaking went to overtake the car in front of him :x

Disconnect and get a fine sand paper/emery board and clean connections. WD40 will only disperse water, if hte connecting pins are furred/green, just a quick rub and apply a smidge of the wd and reconnect. If that fails check your fuses.

Take it down to shirlaws and get them to fix it. (assuming you bought it from there).

Hopefully they can get that right.

Thanks I'll rub down the contacts and see if that works.

I feel morally obliged to fix things that *MAY* only take 5 minutes ... then I'll take it to Shirlaws.
