Recently my horn started acting up. When I pushed the button, it would hesitate to sound, and eventually i noticed that I just had to push the bottom really hard. But yesterday they horn completely went out, doesn't work. I don't have a repair manual, and I don't know where/which one is the horn fuse. Everything else works - I also noticed that my left blinker stays solid when I turn it on, the right one flashes, but the left just stays lit. Any clues on what the f%$k might be up with my :guns: bike. To tell you the truth, I don't really care about the problems, i'm getting a new bike very soon, but something about driving without a horn just isn't milling over well inside of me. If any of you can help (im sure you can) I would really appriciate it. Thanks.

The GS has only one general fuse for all circuitry. The way you describe it, the horn switch probably has gone bad.
About the blinker: Check if the rear blinker on that side is working. I had solid light on my left front blinker when the rear one had gone out after a fall.
Hey, had same bulb problem, if its out and the back ones stays on, ya probably need new bulb, unless this is whats happened to me, water got in and corroded the connections, little cleaning up and it worked fine again. As for the horn, maybe the contacts inside not meeting, mmm contact cleaner (by the way there isnt a horn fuse-only one fuse in whole bike!) or it maybe a duff horn, cos they do wear out with rust sometimes as my sister found out when she had my gs!
:cheers:
There is an adjuster on the back of the horn that will make it work again. It adjusts an electrical contact. It is the little screw on the back. Screw it in a little first, press the button, screw in a little more, test, then go the other way, back it out a little, test, back out some more, and so on.
You were right Scratch, I would never figured out without your help.
Thanks
