Oh Ffs

So enjoying the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside, stopped to take a call and the America is dead.

no lights, no fuel pump, dead.


Anyone got any thoughts?

 

Battery lead ?

 

thanks johnjo, checked and all connected. Battery also has charge. Still dead.

 

Sorry mate, only other suggestion would be wiggling the clutch and sid stand switches.

That's about my tech knowledge reached. Oh, other than main fuse or ignition switch.

Good luck.

 

Put the tank badges back on and it’ll fire up straight away


I would be checking the fuses

 

If it has s like my Speed Triple, if the main lights fuse blows, the starting electronics are disabled

 

Check the earthing connections, may be okay during running but not secure enough for the starting system

 

I was waiting for that to come

 

you’re correct, would still have lights with the kill switch and in this case it’s still dead.

thanks for the reality check though

 

Think you’re Probably right with the fuses

 

Ahh that’s good to know, I’ll check that too

 

I had the same thing with my 09 Speedmaster pulled out the fuses and put them back in and away I went
When I got home I cleaned them and sprayed them with that electrickery stuff

 

Just home 20 minutes ago, one of the 30amp fuses had blown. No idea what caused it as no electronic upgrades/mods on the bike.

And thank you to you @Dozers Dad @dilligaf @Red Thunder @Johnjo for helping me today. I appericate it.

 

Glad to hear you made it home under your own steam Judd.

 

Glad it was a simple fix
I was worried it was something more terminal

 

I second the wiring around the steering idea I have seen a few with chafing in that area,

 

@littleade & @Don the Don
This was thankfully resolved

Did you get home Judd?

We are now at the part of the thread where we post puns based on fuses and electrical faults just before full digression into either cake, dog's, cats or ladies jubblies

 

Unless of course you are referring to causal reasoning behind said blown fuse
In which case it is me that has dropped a few volts and needs a multimeter

I think we should now talk about puppies or cake

 

Watt? You made it ohm ok? Well that's just chAMPion! I find the very thought of you being stuck in the middle of nowhere to be truly reVOLTing.

Sorry! Don't know what came over me. Must be summat t' wife put in me tea!

Coat .... hat .... door .... !

 

Well I want to raise a complaint, Stevethegoolie has used up the best puns in one go, it's shocking.
