okay, i have 96 f3...it has been riding good all week. I rode it to school and around town to do some erands today, parked it at my house at 2:30pm-ish...try to start her up at 4:30 pm -ish, SAME DAY, and none of the lights come on (neutral, oil, high beam, etc.)...so i thought it was a dead battery, and got a brand new one...still won't start...i don't get it. It ran fine all day, then between it's break from 2 to 4, now its not getting any power, even from a new battery...any ideas???

 

check the main relay and fuse. if fuse is good the main power relay is bad, try taping it it may work part time.

 

Bad connection somewhere or fuse.

 

where exactly is the main relay and main fuse? my bike didn't come with a manual so i have no idea...sofar i can't find anything on the net about it's location.

 

Search for a downloadable manual..

the fuses are on the right side of the battery box..

 

thanks...alright, so i found the main fuse, it was blown..and i replaced it...however, when i connected the battery again, the fuse blew again!!...i've went through 4 fuses sofar, they just blow when i reconnect the battery...im possible bad ground? what do you guys think?


.....FIXED THANKS GUYS

 

you probably have a bad regulator/rectifier

 

Thats what my problem was! In 30 seconds your problem is fixed!
