Mad Dog Posted May 30, 2020 #1 Posted May 30, 2020 Sorry guys, it's me again .... the forum problem child! Anyway, while working on my clicky-no-starty issue, I was checking out the starter relay. I had forgotten to disconnect the battery, and got a small quick spark when I grounded out the top right hand bolt on the starter relay. Now I have no power, no radio, no neutral lights, no dash lights... nothing. The two 30 amp fuses in the starter relay ring out, and look fine, as does every fuse in the fuse box under the left side cover. Battery is fine. The bike was starting and running just before I began working on it. I could use some advice please. Super frustrated so I apologize if it comes through the post. I know the bike is 14 years old but only 50k on it. I just cant believe the small issues I'm having.... Is it possibly time for a new bike? This is certainly no fun!! TIA
Mad Dog Posted May 30, 2020 Author #2 Posted May 30, 2020 Ok ..I'm replying so everyone know when I ask for help, just how much help I really need. Anyway.... yeah... did you know that ALL the power for everything goes through the starter relay first.... Once I put the relay back in everything works..... So, sorry about that last post. My fault. Guess I know now. Sorry guys...

cecdoo Posted May 30, 2020 #5 Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Your location says Cumberland, is that down by the Pa Maryland border? If so reach out to Wiz. Ron is his name and he is a Wiz, he lives for this stuff and I am pretty sure he would help you out. He lives down in that area. Good Luck, Craig Edited May 30, 2020 by cecdoo spelling
Patch Posted May 30, 2020 #6 Posted May 30, 2020 So I am not sure if troubleshooting is still required?
Marcarl Posted May 30, 2020 #7 Posted May 30, 2020 So I am not sure if troubleshooting is still required? Not sure if we still need trouble shooting, or shoot the troubler. Now I'm confused!!
