Off to biltema I went, and this is what I got:
New fuses!
(49,90 NOK ($8))
New fuse holder!
(29,90 NOK ($5))
Some cable shoes!
(39,90 NOK ($6,50))
Took out the old fuse box, and cut the wires, making sure that I didn't get any of them mixed up.
What is left now is some clean up work, to make it look better, and to attach things properly.
My handywork isn't pretty, but I got the job done. Note the busted relay, taped together on the left hand side!
Any ideas on waterproofing and securing the area around the fuses a bit better? The old fuse box had a lid, and that was probably for a reason. Anyone?
The hotgrips work perfectly now, and I can enjoy warm hands during our wonderful Oslo summer.... (11c and rain this morning =( )
According to the xjbikes forum, this, along with thin oil in the forks is a common problem on this bike... Well, not anymore!
Time for a brand new To-do:
- Change fork seals and oil
- Fix indicators
- Buy and mount new top box with break light
- Change locks in Givi bags
- Tighten Givi rack
- Mount Autocom
