CBF125
Hello all, looking for help. My bike was fine rode it from home to work. During lunch practicing for my mod1 and bike cuts out after an hour. I have no lights at all ignition or N, bike won’t start I need to get home 🙄 any help would be grateful thanks in advance

 

Check your fuses and battery.
Best of luck mate.

 

I have checked the battery and is dead completely gone. Fit new one tomorrow fingers crossed it starts

 

Well done.
Do you have use of a multimeter as there are a few quick checks you can try that might explain why your battery failed ?

 

Yes, that’s what I used to check battery.
other than that not sure what I’m doing 😂

 

Once you have the new battery installed and the bike running, using your meter set to VDc 20, take a reading by the same method you used to prove it was flat. You should have between 13.5v and 14.5v above 2000rpm.
if you don’t see this there is possibly something wrong with your charging system, hence the flat battery.
Theres plenty of help here and we can talk you through any of the steps required to get your bike up and running.
Best of luck.

 

Thank you for your message, battery on still nothing. No lights no start up nothin. I need to look at the fuses next, see if it that’s as I have no power at all it’s dead

The year of you bike would help get this sorted.
What you could do is follow the cable off the positive side of your battery till you get to the first component. It should be quite close. Check here for a fuse. It could be yellow or green.edit.
I can’t be sure because I don’t know the model you have but if this has blown, there is sometimes a spare attached to the unit. It will be of the same value and you can just pop the good one in.
If you can use your meter to check the fuse whilst it’s in position it would be easier for you. Just set the meter for “continuity” , test by touching the probes together and checking your screen for a visual on what to expect.
Then put your probes on top of the fuse and see what you have. No continuity, fuse blown and look for the possible spare on the unit.
Or I could be wrong and it be something completely different (ignition barrel etc), but is what I’d do next.
Best of luck.

 

Thank you, my bike is 2010. I will do what you said with some help lol, I will keep you posted, thanks for your help most appreciated

2010 could be yellow (20amp) or green (30amp) fuse. Don’t which but definitely find it and check.
