Hey guys, i'm still stuck on this one. My battery became grossly overcharged and was leaking battery acid out all over the place when the bike died on me (obviously)...

I have changed the battery, rectifier and the central control unit but still no joy. I have also checked the fuses and wires and all appear to be fine. The last option is maybe the ignition relay but i have honestly ran out of ideas!

One thing i want to point out is that usually when i used to put the key in the ignition the low fuel light would light up for a few seconds and then go off again like it should. However now when i put the key in the ignition there is no low fuel light; it just not light up at all. Not to sure if it's linked...

Any help on this guys i would really appreciate this!

Cheers Dan
