Help - Bike won't start

Just looking for some help/suggestions. Went to take my bike this morning as I have an exam later. Turned the ignition on and all the lights came on as normal, then there was a small click and everything went of. Now when I turn the ignition on, nothing happens, no lights or anything.

Anyone got any suggestions as to what it may be? I'm thinking maybe a fuse or something. Is there a master fuse somewhere? Not had a chance to look yet as I had to rush for the train.

Any help would be much appreciated, plan to have a look when I get home tonight.

cheers

Gavin

Has not happend to me before but it sounds like a fuse has blown. The fuse's are under the riders seat by the battry if i rember correctly, Dom

oh yes i remember this absolutly **** meself it is the main fuse its located behind the right (rear brake side) plastic infill below the seat there is normally a spare in the green (mine is green) cover for the fuses

as said check your fuses, sounds like the main fuse like dave said - check that first.

That's great, that's what I was thinking. I thought there'd be a main fuse somewhere. I'll check that when I get home, hopefully thats all it is. Thanks for your help.

What year bike is it?

It's a '99 curvy although it's a 2000 model if that makes any difference. Dunno how it happened but it's GCB so definetly a 2000 model so I'm told.

If it goes again after replacing it it's time to check all your wires to see if any have worn through.

Well the first things to check are the fuses. You have instruments and other fuses under the riders seat, but have a look at the main fuse. You have to go past this to get the seat off anyway. So...

On the right side of the bike behind the saddle shutters (black triangles) is the starter relay, its black with a 'green/yellow' cover I think, in there is a 30 amp fuse. It controls the supply to everything, so if it pops you have a dead bike.
Also on the older bikes this 'starter relay' tends to corrode and do odd things to the electrics, so have a look at it and make sure nothing looks like it going green and fuzzy.

cheers, I'll have a look. Dunno if water has maybe got in somewhere as it was very very wet on Wednesday when I was last out. Might just be coincedence though.
