Things start smoking when the live and the neutral feeds touch, but that should just blow a fuse... check you fuses before you changing the loom mate, might be something simple.

check the wiring loom to see if any of the wires have perished, or got hot

The bike shop have still got my bike mate I'm thinking get it back but need sum help to sort it out or sum werewho sell them new surely machanic can sort it

I'm a mechanic mate and i'v worked on loads of bikes including pit bikes. There is hardly nothing to the loom mate best thing you can do is get it back and ask him where the fault it. Check the wires for contanuity and physically check each wire to make sure none are split and earthing out and go from there mate

I wish I had sum1 like u who could ring about my loom as I've just been fobbed off think he's just feeding me aload of bull **** I carnt seem to get straight answer from him and really don't wanna get my bike back I'm useless got no knowledge of electrics at all and would probally make it worse I've phoned around and carnt get anyone else to even look at it wish I knew but u saying it should be easy fix for sum1 who knows wht there doing if anyone got a loom or knows we're to buy 1

chances are, if there is something wrong with your loom, there so cheap to buy, you may as well buy a new one and if you find you dont need it, sell it on.

If I had any spare time I could have a look at it for you, for a beer. probably not for another few weeks that I will have any time

[Millband]

Yh would of defo sorted you out aswell mate any idea were I can find a loom need 1 ASAP as my bikes been off the road for ages I'm worried now cause he's passing my bike on to his mate to fix it so why on earth was he looking at it if he ain't got a clue it's prising me off now I've through loads of money on the bike and running no lights aint an option seems like machanics take pissout of me last year had problem powering my lights 3 stators later and £140 was sorted

[10antsrees10]

if you were closer mate id come take a look at it for you. would say just send your loom but pointless me having it without the bike to test plus im up to my eye balls in other peoples work at the moment haha goto rebuild my mates outboard engine for his boat tomorrow ha oh what fun.! need to get my build sorted as well as not being able to ride is killing me ha. you just need to find a decent streight forward mechanic not some cowboy botcher
