Re: RE: R1100RT Won't Start - Fixed - Replaced Fuel Pump Relay

Michael,
Checking, after reading your post, it seems that the load-relief, horn, fuel
pump and motronic relays are identical (even though one is normally open and
three are normally closed when bike is running).  While the horn relay could
be substituted in emergency it seems that to have one of these as a "spare"
could be a "good thing" and ensure that you will never need it.
