techno Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I last rode it last wednesday, it was fine just put it away there wasnt any outward siigns of any problems and hasnt moved since and now when you put the key in theres nothing no electrics.Have checked the battery and it sparks, all fuses checked and intact no obvious wires broken so thats as far as I can go so any suggestions?

ragdoll Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Hi there,It could be the ignition switch that is faulty...Thats all i could sugest but have a look in a haynes maual for your bike and go from there it should be in the *trouble shooting* page's. Hope this is some kind of help Ragger's xx Quote
techno Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Yeah cheers will have a look at the haynes manual. Quote
Guest Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 sounds like the emergency shut off switch... could've been knocked into the 'off' position by accident...I'm sure you checked that though... could be a tad corroded inside... spray some WD40 into the switch and turn on& off & on & off & on & off & on a few times...And try again.sounds like it's gotta be simple though m8 Quote
techno Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Yeah checked the cut off switch when you turn the key on the needles swing round and back now nothing at all happens.Oh and it wil have to be simple cos I am Quote
techno Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 No nothing. No signs of electrics at all except alarm beeps but wont go off. Quote
Guest Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 What with the cold weather I'd be inclined to suggest the battery is at fault m8. I know you said it sparks, but it could still spark even if it was weak. And if it has dropped to a level that initialise the immobiliser......You got any way of checking the battery strength? You could always syick it on a charge overnight and see if that helps?If it's had it though it'll need replacing obviously. Quote
Stu Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 alarm could have gone into sleep mode to save battery battery could be too flat to power the bike yes it might spark but doesnt mean you have enough power have you got a set of jump leads ? connect it to your car and try it but DO NOT START THE CAR this will rule out the battery Quote
techno Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Am taking it to work tonight to have it checked hopefully it will be knackered. Quote
techno Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Has it got an immobiliser? Yes but dash lights still come on just stops engine firing. Quote
TC Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Its my secret santa gift to you Tecno.A week off the bike in the cold weather.Not sure matecheck all fuses plus the 30amp one Kill switch You've DoneTilt sensor has fallen out of placeBatt voltage is low, enough to do the dials but not start the bikeFaulty starter relayGood luck with it mate i hate Electrics Quote
slugworth1987 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 could be the battery relay (if it has one) stuck like on when my lead came loose hit the general area and it could unstick relay just remember if it stays open the only way to kill it will be to kill switch but if its stuck on the ignition key wont do anything....

rennie Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 i reckon it's a duff battery, they don't like winter! Quote
techno Posted December 17, 2008 Author Posted December 17, 2008 Had the battery checked last night its fine..kicking out 13v Had missed the 30 amp fuse surprise surprise its fine Have no idea what a battery relay is!Think I will put it all back together flick a huge v sign at it and let the pro's sort it when I get chance!

Guest Mr Miller Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Tut!It’s obvious, to all but the dullards on here, that it has simply run out of diesel! I guess they call you Techno because of your love for gadgetry and pumping dance music! Hope ya get it fixed soon, big fella!All the best! Quote
Guest Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 ochams razor;the battery is ok. its nothing to do with fueling as it doesnt even turn the motor.possibly damaged wiring but the kicker is the fact it has an alarm. so the alarm is the obvious choice. Start there, did you have it fitted locally....id take it to them or ask them to have a look at it....unless you are very good with electrics and alarms...your fubared!what alarm is it? Quote
rennie Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 how did they check battery? what with?just cos it reads 13v on a volt meter it doesn't mean it's ok.needs to be tested under load! Quote
ragdoll Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Get a Honda YEEEEYYYYYAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! HONDAAAAAAA!!!Ragger;s xx Quote
Guest Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 how did they check battery? what with?just cos it reads 13v on a volt meter it doesn't mean it's ok.needs to be tested under load! Exactly!!Need to get a drop tester on it.Have you tried the earlier suggestion of linking jump leads? Would surely determine if it was battery related.... Quote
