ignition issue
When I turn the key on today, I got the normal response, the dash lights lit up, but when I hit the starter button, the lights shut off and I heard some type of pop under the seat. I switched the ignition off and on again and nothing. So I checked all of the fuses and all were ok. I thought my starter may be bad, but I should still be getting juice when I turn the ignition switch on, right? I'm not sure where to go from here.
Any Ideas? |
Did you check the main fuse at the starter solenoid? If you don't have lights or anything with key on, you've probably popped it.

Yup checked it and it's fine. I waited a little while and turned the key in the on position and still nothing, but I left the key in the on position and all of a sudden I saw the dash lights light up. I'm thinking I have an exposed wire somewhere, but on the other hand When I'm riding it's fine I never loose "juice".
I plugged my battery into a charger and it was below 80%. It started fine then rode to work. Got home and just plugged it to the tender again and it showed it was below 80% again. So would/could it be just low battery? If it's not one thing it's another. |
I had a similiar problem and it was my ignition barrell. Left the bike for a few months and when i turned the key i got nothing. Wiggled the key a little and all the lights lit up. Soaked it in wd40 and it was fine until i sold it.
Charging problem could be a bad regulator rectifier. Not too expensive to replace and very easy job, its bolted to the left side of the sub frame. |
Fixed the issue. Tightened the battery conections. The positive screw was loose. WOW I love easy fixes.
