Default F2 won't start!

So I rode the bike fine last night, went out there this morning to start her up and nothing. Not even the sound of the starter turning over. There wasn't even the noise of a cricket! I checked the fuses, all four are fine... I check the wires comming from the start switch for any power... not knowing which should carry a positive charge I tried them all none of the wires (Green & Yellow, Yellow & Red, Brown, and Blue & White) and nothing! Should any of those carry a charge?

Any ideas as to what may be wrong here?

Download the service manual from the link in this post: https://cbrforum.com/m_327085/tm.htm

Go through the testing procedures found in Chapter 17 and possibly Chapters 15, 16 and 20. Wiring diagram can be found in Chapter 19.

Can you push start the bike? If so, then the starter circuit is to blame. If it doesn't push start, then it becomes a lot more complicated.

Still might be the battery cause once on my F4 the battery was completely dead and nothing would click or anything, but lights on gauges still came on.

I had the same problem on my F2 this year after hours of doing the test procedures from the manual I found out that my starter relay switch was bad.
If its not the battery, I would check the starter relay switch. And double check the fuses!!

ROFL, I was look at pics online of the starter relay... I didn't know there was a fuse in it, I'll check that when I get home.., would that seriously make it so when I pressed the start button NOTHING happens though? Does anyone know if there's voltage supposed to be going there?

That would do it. if the fuse is blown there is no way to draw current. Check that or even possibly the contacts in the handle from the starter button.

If the fuse is not blown in the starter relay pull the plug on top and test the wires in to plug.
i.e. put your key in and push start to see if voltage is sent down to the plug.

Electrical problems are tricky and can be very time consuming but take your time and don't give up. I almost did and to think that the only thing broken on my bike was a $30 switch. hahaha

You can also check your starter motor, I mean I'm sure its fine but disconnect the 2 cables on the stater relay switch and put them to together only for a split second, your starter motor should turn, if it doesn't than your starter motor is bad, or the cables could be torn.
