So I followed the write up and just completed all the connections with solder, dilectric grease, crimps, and heat shrink wrap. It looks nice and pretty. Then I stick the key in and turn to ON and nothing. No headlight, blinkers, starter, nada!

I checked the fuses up front and all seem to be in great condition. So now I'm stuck. I don't know what to check next. Any help please?

 

update: I used the 2003 GSXR 1000 R&R

 

There is a 30A fuse tucked under the seat in the starter relay housing.
You have to pull the connector to access it.

duuuude. You rock... It's almost 3:30 AM over here and I've been pulling my hair out and re reading these threads. Too bad no stores open that sells a 30amp fuse...Thank you MadHater, you're a GURU!

 

Just an update, got the new fuse this morning. Bike started right up and at idle I'm getting 14-14.5 volts. Looks like it is charging now! I'm taking the bike on a good 70 mile ride so we will see how it holds up. pretty excited!

 

 

Glad to be able to help.

If you haven't already, go through the rest of the harness, too.
Nothing like a solid-stable harness to keep that minty-fresh taste to a bike.

While you're at it...get a couple of spare fuses and
tape or stash them under the seat for "just-in-case".
