Got a 96 RR about a month ago. Runs great, i have put about 200 miles on it. Went to start it the other day, I turned the key and nothing. No lights no nothing. Battery is good. So far I have checked battery connections, all fuses in fuse panel & the two 30 amp fuses under the right tail cover (near battery) are all good. Decided to post before I dig deeper. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or could offer any advice. Thanks

 

Are you getting all your dash lights coming on when you turn the ign switch?
are you getting a neutral light from the trans?

 

Sorry I havent been on here in awhile. I got my F3 fixed & havent gotten back to my 900 yet. Yea, when you turn the key there are no lights at all. Battery is good, connections at battery are good. Hopefully over the Thanksgiving weekend I will get to look at it again. Was thinking my next move , I would pull the ignition switch and see if I am getting power to the switch. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

 

That was going to.be my guess is your ignition is bad but did you test the battery some.people say its a good battery because they just bought it but haven't actually taken a volt meter to it?

 

I got it, so simple. The way the the wires were they were getting pulled on when you turned the handle bars. I took the plug apart by the fuse box & one of the connectors was kinda burnt. I guess it had been gettin pulled & it was making it arc. I cleaned up the connector, put it back together & rearranged my wires (as well as the clutch cable) so this doesn't happen anymore...Already thinking of spring....
