Bike gone for a toss after fitting horns, FZ-S :(
Until yesterday everything was okay, exactly one week after i got the horns fit on to my bike ! The horns costed me 230, mechanic took 150 and for the clamps, clips, switch and everything it took me 110 ! People say I got fooled by the mechanic but then I thought it was worth enough so dint comment. This morning I started off the bike honked all the way from home to college because of the traffic and few laid back rick guys but to my utter surprise the bike fuel display was gone and the bike was not starting on ignition and my bike is such that it has no kick start so I really felt doomed then and it was a lil embarassing as I had to reach the office soon since dad had called me for fixing up the laptop !
After a lot of trys to push nothing happened and I at last had to tow the bike till the local mechos place and when I reached there he opened up the side shield and found the fuse conked, he put another fuse and it conked too. Then he put some wire and recommended me to reach the SVC asap, poor thing took 20rs but after a lil ride to go get a cool drink after the towing it was again not starting on ignition ! I took it again from him and what he said he will check the wiring and when he did that he found that the horn switch wiring was not done properly and he removed the wiring and again took 20rs.
When I went to the SVC he says warranty is void, you'll have to pay money for this as these are not company fitted horns so he took 100rs took out the horns corrected the wiring and told me not to fit them ever again unless there is some good mechanic or electrician who can do that.
With so much stress, I just felt like slapping myself, I took out all my anger on the mecho and he is like not my fault if you cant take care of the bike and the company SVC guys always tell this that the way we do stuff is not right and in fact what they do is wrong ! I just ripped off the bike as I couldnt say anything !
Experts please help me, tell me how the wiring is done exactly how the switch has to be placed is the price I paid is okay ! Please throw some light as other people also may find this helpful when they fit such horns.
P.S : It is illegal if the horn is above 80 decibels I have no clue how many decibels this is thus I also want to fit a switch by which I can change between the two horns. Stock and this one in the pic below !
