im not very mechanically minded, so this may be something very simple.
Haven’t been using my bike properly for about 3 months, but every now and then i was starting her up, which was fine. Went to start her this morning and she wouldn’t, assumed battey was flat so disconnected battery and tried to charge it- wouldnt charge, i then cleaned all the contacts around the battery and put it back in, tried to start her and she did fine! But in my haste i forgot to reconnect one of the leads, after connecting this lead she wont bloody start again 😡, its a small black cable which connects in to what looks like a single fuse. Does anyone have any ideas? I cant trace where the cable goes as it heads under the tank (picture attached - i hope!).
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Its the black cable on the negative terminal
It doesn't look like a stock connection. What has been added to the bike? Also, a ground should not have a fuse on it. I suspect that it belongs on the positive cable, but sure would be nice to know what it is for before switching it.
Is there a chance that if they are wired into the rear lights, and a bulb has gone that this would cause the issue, in the fact thats its not creating a circuit?
So had a look and thought even if i get the tank off and trace the cable i wont be able to fix it, so i tried to bump start to see if i could at least get it to a garage next week, it wouldnt bump start and now all i get is a ticking sound and the green light buy the key symbol flashing... this is becoming a pain in the **** as i want to get her sold as she dosnt get used and up until recently i have no issues!
