Bike won't turn over
 

I was riding around, everything was working fine. I ran in to the library to take a book back and when I came out 10 minutes later the bike wouldn't turn over - absolutely nothing. I checked to make sure the batter cables were secure. The battery is brand new, like 2 months old.


Edited to add that the lights don't turn on and you can't honk the horn.

Blown fuse?
check the voltage of the battery.
How did you get the bike home?

Re: Bike won't turn over
 

Might you have left the key on? Or in the park position? Do you have a charger? Sounds like the battery ran down. Doesn't take long if you left the headight on.

batt, fuse, and also check under your batt connections for corrosion, its hard to spot and could have this affect

I might have left the key on, but it was only like 10 minutes. l not expect it to run all the way down in that short period of time.

Maybe not,but you'll soon find out about all the little tricks the geezer likes to pull on unsuspecting owners. :yes:

Re: Bike won't turn over
 

I just had it checked and it has 12.9 volts, and it only needs 12.5 to start so I guess I'll look into the fuse issue. So.. where on earth is that?


edited to add that there is no corrosion problem.

The fuse box is next to the battery, under the storage conpartment,when you take the seat off.
:) :cool:

You have the key on, clutch pulled in, starter/kill switch in the RUN position ?
