    My XJ runs well, but sometimes the electrical start, horn and indicator lights suddenly don't work. While the headlight still burns. So in that case I have to push my bike to start. I don't know when exactly it occurs. The fuses are still ok.

    Is this a known problem? What could be the cause?

    If you still have the original fusebox, consider replacing it immediately. Even if the glass fuses are ok, the metal clips that hold them become brittle and oxidized, and conductivity is impaired. If you try to fiddle with them too much, the clips break. Lots of posts and pics with new blade-type fuseboxes if you search.
    After that, test your battery then check all wiring connections, clean them, use dilectric grease.

    Battery is fine. I'll have a closer look to the fusebox soon then..
