Help on 06 RSTD -

[Barry1951]

OK, Rode into town this morning, TD started and ran like a top, stopped to meet wife for coffee. When I went out to leave, TD started fine, but then died, when I attempted to re-start, nothing, , ,no light, no fire, nothing, , , ,

Am new to RSTDs, , , , , ,littel help for what I am looking for.

I am headed back into town in a little bit and will take tools/meter to check battery for power. Is there a master fuse and if so, where?

Any other suggestions of what to look for????

Have never had a monutes problem with this bike so far. Kinda perplexing, , ,

Do a search on testing battery (using meter) and you'll see what the different outputs should be. Also check battery connection.

Fuse - possible - located in lower fairings and left side under seat (I believe)

Make sure you didn't just hit the kill switch by mistake. It's on the top of right hand grip, and very easy to bump with a gloved hand and not know it.

There is a master fuse - it is behind the panel just rear of the main fuse box on the left side - you need to remove the passenger floor board to access it.

 

If the main fuse is good, then remove and clean the battery connections - scrape the mating surfaces of both the wire terminals and the battery posts with a knife to make sure they are clean - they can develop a hard glass-like coating that blocks the connection.

Thanks Gentleman, it turned out to be the battery ground just a very little corrosion.

scraped, cleaned and running.
