Curvey wont start.

[Hungrytang]

My wife has a 99 curvey.

Every now and again the bike would do nothing when you press the start button, but always started when the ignition was turned off and then back on.

However after fitting a new clutch lever on thursday the bike now wont start at all.

All the ignition lights come on but nothing on the button.
My first thought was the clutch switch but that working fine.

Ive checked the...

Clutch switch
side stand switch
kill switch

And there all fine.

Ive linked out the starter relay and the bike turns over but it wont fire as theres seems to be no spark.

The bikes booked in the shop on monday but any last ides before it goes.??

I had a problem last week when my bike had exact same symptons, very similar to this except my battery was very low on charge. Found out it was the ignition 10a fuse had blown.
Also check the start relay 30a fuses/
As well as that check your battery, trying to keep starting it will wear the battery down quite quickly and I'm presuming if your shorting the relay out, maybe it is not getting the power to just get the spark, but enough power to keep your idle lights on etc.

also forgot to mention after 10 mins of messing about, it did fire up.!!

Took it for a quick ride which went fine, turned it off and it hasent started since.

All fuses are ok.

throw a multimeter on your battery, see if it's keeping it's charge. Throw a charger on it if its not
Maybe alternator not charging battery?
Sounds all very similar to what happened to me last week.

Chase all your wiring. A trapped wire/damaged cover touching chassis, etc or loose connector can cause a world of annoying little issues! Slow job but just my 2 pence worth.
