KZ750 Horn Help
30 Mar 2025 15:22
I continue to work on my 81 KZ750H2. Currently working on a horn issue. I had thought the horn worked initially, but doubting myself now. Headlight works, turn signals work, hazards work. I get nothing from the horn button. I swapped the horn thinking the stock was just bad and also for something a little less noticeable, but it also is not working. Took apart the left controls and blasted them with contact cleaner. Didn’t help. Fuses are all fine. What should I check next? I am so close to starting this for the first time and its the damn horn holding me up. Thanks as always.
Regards,
SnyperX

Make sure you're getting a good ground connection from the horn control to the handle bar. On my Z1, the ground connection is through the housing body itself to the bar. Took me a while to find the ground path!

I ground a bit of paint off where the left controls mount and the horn now work great!!Make sure you're getting a good ground connection from the horn control to the handle bar. On my Z1, the ground connection is through the housing body itself to the bar. Took me a while to find the ground path!
