The horn might have a squelch type adjustment, usually a screw that tightens or loosens the intensity of vibration. Too tight and it won't toot. Too loose and get a weak toot. Best adjustment is perhaps just before too tight (loudest toot).
Perhaps adjusted too tight , and riding with throttle applied imparts just enough vibration to overcome the failure to otherwise toot.
Could test-toot with engine not running by attaching hot wires from the battery posts to the horn terminals.
Noted that nut for exhaust clamp is missing.
Good Fortune!

After that statement, I gather you don't know what else is referred to as a "horn" in Australia.... :laugh: Not too sure if I'm looking forward to the report...

I used Cycle Terminal mini 4 pin relays for my horn and headlight circuits.

The other electrical issue I have is that my turn signals are a bit out of whack. The right turn signal blinks just fine while the left one either blinks very slowly as in a blink every 3 seconds or it just stops blinking at all. What could possibly cause that issue?
