My SV not starting

got on bike, turn key to 'on' position, lights comes on ok, normal etc. clutch in and press the starter button, motor turns over, a few seconds later cuts off

lights on the panel is still on, so clutch in and start again, motor makes a little turn then everything cuts out!

key is still in 'on' position, but lights on panel are now gone, turned the key a few times still nothing, not a light, noise... i have no idea

i've checked the killswitch, sidestand position. all the fuss in the main fuss box are fine.

I'm now charging the battery, but I dont think its the problem.

Could it be the starter relay?

Edit: my bike was in a Arson Arrack last week, could this be the cause? there are no surface damage to the bike, but could the heat cause some sort of interenal damage? but then again the bike get hot running normally anyway so I can't see it being the cuase.

cheers guys

I wouldnt of thought so if its cutting every thing out, maybe just flat it happened to me once or could be some thing more serious, maybe the battery couldnt handle the heat from the fire?

yeah, you could be right about the fire, it is on my mind. the heat did melt the cover but the body work seems ok, maybe the heat managed to somehow get pass and weaken some wires or even the battery, cuasing internal damages

Regulator rectifier maybe? Had to change mine recently....

The batery might have got hot and sort of discharged itself...batteries dont like high temp or low temp.....but then it gets arm around the battery when your riding anyway

Let us know what goes on

Sounds like a cooked batterie!

charged the battery all day, put it in, still nothing key to on, nothing, no light, noise nothing.

any ideas?

telling you mate, regulator rectifier! worth checking it out

hope you get it sorted soon
