Default HELP!!! ELECTRICAL PROB!

OK so basically I put my new flush mounts on and failed to realize i left my bike on so my battery died I jumped it and let it run and looked at the console and realized that NOTHING was working. I.E. tach, speedo, mileage, temp.

+1 on the fuses.


Did you jump it from a car battery? I have heard that jumping a bike from a car can do some harm. Not sure why... it's just what i have heard

You can jump from a car as long as the car isnt running. A car usually puts out around 14volts or so while running. A bike only needs 6v to start im sure. But still has a 12v battery, if your trying to jump your bike from a car make sure the car is OFF.

And yes check your fuses. Always start at the source ie battery then work your way up.
