electrical fault

hi all after some advice have a bit of a leccy prob

firstly when i am riding and i pull brake lever i get what sounds like a buzzing from around the fusebox area, but when i pull over pop the cover off and squeeze the lever there is no sound,

i have had a look around the whole area and cant see a loose wire or connector anywhere

secondly when im riding in the rain i keep getting an electric shock in my left leg im assuming this must be coming from the ht leads but im asking does anybody else experiance this or have i got a major prob

i hope you understand what im trying to explain and thanks in advance

pasty

Re: electrical fault

Sounds like you may have an earth fault on the handlebars.
There should be a braided cable from one of the handle bar mounting bolts to the underneath of the top Tripple tree. Check it's not broken, frayed or loose.
