Possible electrical fault
Bit of a long story so i'll do my best to keep it short.
Made the following changes recently New fork springs + oil, rear shock + new rear sub frame,new under tray. Now, while most of this work was being done, the batter way out, so we had no power what so ever, and the bike was up on two stands, front and back. we've reattached every thing exactally as it was, bar the brake calipers, there currently not connected. Reconnected the battery, and turned on the ignition, and she lights the dash up, even the alarm works perfectly, light turn on , both heads and dips, but when i push the button to start the iginition, we get nothing, zip, zero, not even an attempted turn over, total silence, so i've checked the fuses to see if the ignition fuse was gone, it's ok.# The only other thing we did was remove the side stand during the rear shock installation, but it's back on now and fine. My though's are leading me to the fact that maybe it wont fire up as it's on the stands ? what say you org have i got a big problem on my hands ? |

Re: Possible electrical fault
I'll be the one to state the obvious, You are pulling the clutch lever in?
Sounds like it could be one of the safety switches. Or you need to reset your alarm. |

Re: Possible electrical fault
Yup. Have a check if coils have voltage, that'll tell you whether it's cut out circuits or the starter safeties.

Re: Possible electrical fault
It does sound like the safety circuit ... ok, so you are pulling the clutch in, but are the wires put back on the little leaver switch ok!?!?

It may be worth checking the sidestand switch plugs were properly attached when re-building the bike. |

its most likely the clutch or killswitch safety circuits ... if it is not, then time to have a look at things like the starter motor main strap/cable. |

Re: Possible electrical fault
Ok im betting it's the clutch safety switch so, as the side stand switch is only active when the bike is in gear and the stand is down, she wont start, and it's not in gear, there a good chance, we knocked out the connector behind the clutch lever, during the work on the forks, or the clutch switch diode, it may have come loose during the install of the new sub frame
it'll be tomorrow night by the time i get to look |
