Changed handlebars, now won't start.

long story short, started fitting renthals to my 2000 curvy removed clipons etc, and top yoke, replaced with top yoke off a naked re-fitted all switch gear, etc put renthals on the bike and now it won't feckin start, I know its not the battery as it was running before i removed clipons yesterday, can anybody point me in the right direction.

many thanx

is the clutch safety start thing and the cut of switch all ok(Wiring)?

What lights come on??? or is there none?

all the lights come on and i put the connector on the clutch lever back on both ways just incase id put it on the wrong way round but still wouldn't start, i dont here the starter relay trying clicking so was wondering could i have disturbed the side stand switch whilst moving the front end around as it moves on the stand when you twist the forks.

Kill switch?

Stressed/broke the wiring going to the right hand switch gear? Kill switch or ignition button could be damaged?


Is there any attempt to start what so ever?Or just silence?

just silence, am well f*cked off it went so well other than that.

Short the clutch switch wires with a piece of cable then try again. If you have changed the grips when changing the bars it might not be making the switch. For example since I fitted my heated grips you have to pull the clutch lever into the grip very hard to get it to turn over.

To do it, just disconnect the cable going to the switch on the control, then push a short piece of cable into each contact on the connector on the cable to connect them together.

Yeah stop getting annoyed at it and start applying some logic to fix the tw*tting bike.


You had it all apart, it's obviously something been disturbed.

Short the clutch switch out
If that doesn't work short the starter relay out and see if it fires (it will definitely turn over)
If it fires... it's a clutch switch or starter button problem. If it turns but doesn't fire it is a killswitch problem or a safety cutout problem.

It's unlikely to be the sidestand unless that was already dodgy.

This is stating the obvious I know, but re-check everything that was disturbed, that also means the wiring under the tank as those cables will have been wiggled during your work.

I take it everything works except the starter? If no, then make a certain of what does and doesn't work, this will assist in tying down the point of failure.
