Bike rebuilt but no power?

[Kwally5]

Hi everyone and thanks for the input in advance :)

I had to strip my bike due to it being stolen and now after rebuilding it I have no power anywhere : /

Couple of things to tick off:
- Battery is connected
- I think the wiring loom is wired up correctly
- And of course the bike did run before I messed with it

Just thinking what could I of easily missed off while rebuilding it, I have spent literally all day rebuilding it so I am going to leave it for today and go back to it tomorrow with a fresh mind.

If anyone fancies giving me a hand and your close to me (Bolton/Wigan) I would be very much appreciated as I need it for work ASAP :)

Thanks again.
Kieran

What bike do you have?

[Kwally5]

SV650 99-02 Faired

[flymo]

fuses? is the ignition barrel still intact?

[Kwally5]

Yes all that is intact and fused are fine.

[DJ123]

is the battery in good condition?

[Kwally5]

Yep practically new.

[DJ123]

The pointy has a tip over switch. Does the curvy have this?

[Kwally5]

Tip over switch?

[DJ123]

Its a sensor that when it senses a knock/bang it cuts the power-unsure if it cuts out the whole system or just the engine.

[Kwally5]

Hmm, I don't think the curvy has one.

[Biker Biggles]

Loose connection.Main fuse.Kill switch.If you cant trace the fault best get a multimeter and find where the leccy runs out that way.

[Sid Squid]

Curvy does not have tip over switch.

Just to clarify; when you say 'no power' what exactly do you mean? Does it run but badly? Is there no electrics, or... something else?

I think we should be told.

[Kwally5]

Okay. Thanks for all the replies. I found the problem.

A fuse had blown and when i try to renew it just blows straight away. I see the spark!!

What can be causing this.

Thanks

You likely have a short circuit somewhere. Have you modified or altered the wiring in anyway? Go over all your connections and make sure they are insulated and connected to the correct terminals etc.

Hi.

Problem fixed, it was a bad battery lead. I have power now but my starter button will not work. However power is getting to other things. Lights ect.

Stand is down and clutch is held in when trying to use it.

Any ideas?

[flymo]

are the clutch and sidestand switches working correctly?

[Kwally5]

Wheres the clutch switch?

[Biker Biggles]

Kill Switch?

[Kwally5]

Just connected the clutch switch (if thats the one under lever) however it is still not working.

[flymo]

Does the clutch switch actually work? Also I think its a normally open switch, so you can disconnect the clutch switch and short the two connectors for it on the wiring loom side using a paper clip or similar. That will eliminate the switch while you troubleshoot. Also check the same for the sidestand switch.

[Mauler]

Bridge the two clutch switch connections and see if it works then?

Gah, beaten to it!

[Kwally5]

Will give it a go 1 minute :)

where would that be?

[Kwally5]

I live in Atherton, near to Bolton/Wigan/Westhoughton if anyone can help :)

Can you hear the starter relay click when you push the starter button?
There's a pretty good troubleshooting chart in the maintenance manual- it would be best to get one and follow it. There's lots of interconnected stuff in the starting circuit- sidestand switch, clutch switch, kill switch, ignition switch, starter relay- all of it has to be properly connected and operating for power to be sent to the starter motor, which also has to be properly connected and working.

[Kwally5]

I cant hear the starter relay kick in.

And i will take a look. Cheers

Okay so I put a spanner on my fuse box from + to - and the bike turned over so I am loosing power before it gets to that area. Going to have to check my wires i'm guessing.
