after theft attempt bike seems dead. - SV650.org

Hi 2016 sv650 AL7. I recently had a theft attempt they cut\ damaged 4 wires leading to the head. I have repaired these and checked the battery voltage. Bike is lifeless.
Checked the fuses in the box all seem fine and unburnt. There are no signs of life when the ignition is turned. Is there another fuse? This has probably saved me from having the bike stolen if so.
Thanks

Sorry to hear about your vandals/thieves.

The bike's main fuse is 30A and it sits in the starter relay assembly which is on the right side aft of the battery. If you follow the heavy duty wire from the battery it will lead (!) you to the relay.

Can I ask where please? It all seems very tight.

Here's a pic taken from the US site.

In front of the guy's hand is the starter relay, you can see the 2 green fuses under the relay cover. One fuse is a spare.

Hey that's brilliant Seeker! Good man, nice to see a positive resolution.

Enjoy your riding Jon, and get that bike out of sight or locked up safely!
