hey all im new here, anyway im doing up a 2005 hartford hd125s for my partner, but slight problem is that nothing works unless the bike is running, luckly it has a kickstart to turn over to start, but no electrics, i had to hotwire it as keys were lost and will be replacing ignition barrel and tank lock soon, but anyone know if i've damgaed anything such as regulator by hotwiring? thanks all

have you checked the battery...?


could be it is flat and therefore using electrical current generated by the engine instead.

battery is fine, now i just realised head gasket is going :( , but still back to orginal :P

by hot wiring have you turned the ignition on, or just the start circuit....


get a new ignition, and see if that solves your problems.


m and p do replacements if your bike is a jap copy...?
