First stop is check your battery is good,
Had this trouble with the XT660 and a good quality battery or even good charge will solve it.
Its a big lump to turn over, but as said previously once your up and running they are a great ride.
Best of luck and welcome.

Hi John, had similar problem after 4 days of riding. Mine turned out to be a break in wires in the loom, and then a flat battery. Now sorted and think my Baghira is awesome :-D You will really love it once sorted.

90 percent of your electrickery is bad ground connection and then dirty connections in general. A little wire brushing and dialectric grease goes along way towards reliabilty. Only change one thing at a time . Good luck

And the Baggy's not the first MZ to suffer from bad earthing. Had a similar problem on my (then nearly new) Saxon 2-smoke too.

You'd think they'd've sorted it by now...

But like the guys have said John, once it's fixed it's a MARVELLOUS bike. Do enjoy. I'm quite envious of all you Baggy owners and am starting to miss mine terribly, it's only about 4 years since I sold it...
