No Power

[Maaak39]

Hello all I was warming up my bike a while back when it died. as I tried to restart it it just went dead. No lights no ignition no power nothing. I am pretty sure I checked all the fuses I have power past the battery. Don't know what else to check any Ideas

It is a 2005 RSTD

Thanks Mark

Might be the On/ Off contacts in the Ignition Switch. A common problem on these

bikes.

 

Did you check the RED Switch on handle bar. ?? Is is On, or is it OFF ???

We have all done this from time to time.

 

Did you check for Loose connections on the battery.

 

Did you Check the " Main Fuse " located left Side cover near the fuel pump !!

 

Check battery voltage with voltmeter, but I don't think thats your problem .

 

List what you find.

Check ignition switch, I know that is a problem area on a RSV.

[Maaak39]

yes I checked the power switch on the handlebars, battery has juice, checked main fuse and ignition fuse and any others behind the cowlings & cover plates have been trying to bypass the switch still nothing. going to recheck everything again tomorrow

I agree with Jeff.

Go to VR Tech--2nd gen--electrical problems and read Carbon One's post on ignition switch bypass.

Good luck.

sounds like the symptoms I had when the battery connections were loose.

 

check the easy things first.

Battery connections good, Battery good, bypass ign switch no help. Been checking switches and relays for continuity but I am having trouble locating the starting circuit cutoff relay. Anybody know where this is?

 

Thanks for the suggestions

Have you found the " Main Fuse " ???? Left side, Aft of the Fuel Pump Cover.

Pull Passenger foot board

Pull the Plastic Cover under the passenger foot board.

Under that space you will find the " Main 30 Amp " fuse holder, and Starter Relay
