I just recently purchased a 2002 f4i. I've been riding it as much as possible however last night I ran into some trouble with it. I was pulling into a parking spot and as soon as I turn the bars the bike shuts off on me. The tach is stuck at 1.5k rpm, the clock is not on. when I turn the key to on nothing happens. I checked the battery and it is good. any ideas what my problem may be? any pointers that any of you can give would be greatly appreciated

 

Sounds like a blown fuse, possibly caused by a worn part of the wiring harness with a bare wire shorting out against the frame when the bars were turned.

Check every fuse, especially the main (30A?), replace any that are bad and turn the bars from side to side with the key on and see if it blows again.

 

Thanks so much! bike's starting again

 

I had aftermarket indicators on a gsxr 600. Everytime i turned left it cut out. turns out the clown who fit them hadnt insulated the bare metal bits so they touched all the time. very annoying but a nice simple fix

 

You should see my rear blinkers hahah they're definitely the cause of the problem until I get an integrated tail light
