Starting Problems

[colchubbs]

Hey everyone,

 

My bike is having some starting problems, or rather, a starting problem. Yesterday, I went out to start the bike and nothing would turn on, when I turned the ignition. I hooked up some jumper cables and was able to jump the bike. I took it into work, there I went to start it to go home, and the same thing. Except this time it wouldn't take a jump.

 

A few things: 1) The lights on the instrument panel are not turning on, nor any of the electronics (headlights, tail light), when I turn the ignition.

 

2) The battery is completely charged, I tested it and it is at 100%.

 

3) We tried to roll start it, and it started up, but it was not firing on all cylinders, nor would it create enough electicity to turn on the instruments or lights.

 

Thanks in advance,

-Chubbs

Clean connections first!!

 

Make sure main fuse is good.

The ignition switch is known for going bad and causing trouble on these bikes. You might look into that.
