Virginia requires an annual vehicle inspection, and it was time for my Tenere this month. Quick check before before leaving home, everything works. 15 minutes later the inspector has just completed front lights and turn signals and is moving to the back of the bike. He asks me to hit the horn...nothing. 5 or 6 more hits...nothing.
With the bike shutdown you can hear a faint tone every time the button is pushed. The inspector suggested it will work fine by the time I get it home. He was 100% correct. Home... beep, beep, beep...sounded completely normal.
Go inside the house to tell Dirt Mom about it, she found it hard to believe since she heard it work perfectly before I left. Go back out, try it again, only a faint tone now. Quick check with the meter, it's getting 12v every time the button is pushed. Same as the wife's Tenere when I do the same check.
My horn is dead. I didn't know that was possible.
