Title: Horn on Evo - Intermitent - Solutions?
Post by: Skybarney on June 10, 2014, 12:15:37 PM
Hi All, 

So the Evo seems to have a bit of a known issue with the horn.  When the bike gets hot it often stops working for a while.  While not the end of the world I do use my horn a fair bit and would be really happy if it was reliable.

So replace the factory horn or relocate the stock horn?  Will a nice Hella aftermarket horn also get hot and stop working?  Any thoughts appreciated.

Before replacing the horn I would get out there with a meter and confirm you have voltage to the horn (violet wire) and a good ground (black wire) unless you want to replace it anyway.

Not in a hurry to replace the horn.  Although as it only happens when hot it is hard to get a multi meter on it before it is working again.  I would think bad soldier connection, if there was one.....

Tried to catch it a couple of times now to no avail.

I really like that brass horn, it would be a shoe in if it came in Carbon Fiber...

Where did you mount the Nautilus?  is it small, easy to mount without cutting wires on the harness?
