Introduction/Electrical Problem SR 125 owner

[Guest]

Hello all,

I found this site by Googling my problem. I am from America but I live in Japan. In America I ride a Kawasaki Ninja 636 slightly modified and caged. I missed riding in Japan and since the laws here are pretty crazy I decided to get a cheap 125cc.

On to my problem.

When I turn the ignition on I get NOTHING. No lights, no clicks, no starting, no horn, nothing.

I pop start it and it runs fine, but otherwise NOTHING. No lights, no horn, no electricity outside of the motor. Even if I drive it for a while the battery doesn't seem to charge (if that's the problem). Today I replaced the battery fluid and tried riding it to charge the battery again... no luck. No electricity.

Japan's not really a cost friendly place when it comes to taking bikes to the shop (they wanted $170 for a new battery). Also they wont give any tips or advice. Can someone here help me?

Its been so long since I've been on a forum for a second I forgot to quote you....

anywho, I checked the main fuse (as in I took it out and looked at it)... not sure what to look for. There was a metal in the glass and it wasn't broken... so I think thats fine.

As for the connections to the battery, there as tight as I can make them, next time I take them off I'll have to replace the screws since I stripped them a little.

Hello and welcome

please say hello in the newbies section

you really need a multimeter or some sort

of electrical tester.

start at the battery, do you have volts?,

then follow the volts till you lose them.

sounds like a fuse to me!
