i was hit a few months ago, caused me to hit a curb and flip. the entire front of the bike (windscreen, all plastics, headlight and tach were ripped off) and shredded a few wires in the sub harness. at that time the bike would crank but the fuel pump would not prime so i fixed the broken wires in the harness. plugged in the tach, BAS, checked all fuses and relays. . . plugged in the sub harness and turned the key the fuel pump primed and it turned over, fired right up so i assumed my problem was the broken wires. i secured the harness, BAS, and tach around the bike so i could ride it see if the frame is straight. the next time i went to start the bike the fuel pump wouldnt prime and now it wont even crank, when i turn the key over the tach hesitates to turn on.

the only thing i did from when it ran to when it didnt is secure the harness around the frame and mount the tach, i dont know what happened to make the bike not prime or crank now.

any suggestions or tests?

 

Check all of your connectors again. Also, look for a pinched/stripped wire(s) that might be causing a dead-short.

If a visual inspection doesn't work, Plan B is to use the old fashioned 'jiggle' test.
Turn on the ignition and start wiggling wires to see if you get a connection. If you
do it in the semi-dark, you can see a spark sometimes, leading you to the offending
point in the harness. But, first try visual inspection, you can go thru a lot of fuses
and, possibly, expensive components with this method.

Good luck, Ern

 

The best method!!!!

 

Check to make sure the battery terminals are tight. Sounds like a pretty nasty wreck so those could have come loose. Also you might want to check the battery to make sure it is still in good condition and if it is then charge it up. A low/dead battery can cause some pretty weird issues.

 

is the tip over switch working and connected? doubt this is the cause because it did start once
