Ok guys.. so here's my problem. and its really pissing me off cause i spent alot of the winter putting work into my bike and now it wont start/crank/nothing. I have a 91 F2 and its in pretty ****ty condition cosmetically. plus a few things here and there. anyway. i assembled the bike's gauges and lights and the battery is charged and tested to be able to take the load however, when i push the engine start button. NOTHING HAPPENS. my headlight dims. and thats it! no sound nothing. i've checked the fuses and the wiring to the starter Ignition relay. am i missing something obvious. the kickstand is down, bike is in neutral, but WTF. nothing is happening. please please if you have had this happen and i am just missing a connection, please let me know. thanks

 

something like that happen to my old cb 750 few years ago i push start the moth.. ****..
can be your starter getting ready to go bye bye they got so heavy that you will no have the engine turn
then you thhink daaaaaam my engine is stuck try pushing here litte bitte hit second gear that my loose it up
if not get a big guy tu push o doit redneck way get pull by a car o truck til you get it going

 

To my knowledge i have heard that there is a fuse under or around the battery box. Maybe check that.

 

I'd check the continuity of the switches if you think you've checked everything out. Measure the resistance through the kickstand switch (in the service manual I believe) and make sure that your switch is actually working, also do the same for the run/off switch on the right handlebar.
make sure your grounds are good, but it sounds like you already checked that stuff.
possible starter relay?
even if the kickstand is down you can start the bike in neutral, and I think you can even start it with the kickstand down and the bike in gear so long as the clutch lever is pulled in, but I'm not sure on that one.
whatever you do, don't take alejandrof2's suggestion and try pulling your bike with a car to try and start it, thats just a receipe for disaster

 

all depends if your are in the bike or you are in the car

If the 30 amp buss is blown you would not have lights to dim
If you did any wiring mods check that you didn't leave a connection crossed or weak - I try to reconnect using a dielectric water displacement paste after cleaning the male and female connectors. Also check your grounds, all the good connects will be weak if the common grounds are loose or lamed.

 

My friend had the same problem as this. he was riding one day and his bike just died.. and we were like wtf... so after bout a week or so of him tryin to figure this all out he found out that his starter relay was the bad part. so i would def check that out!

 

thanks for the pointers.. i'll look into it
