Hi all,
*I have scanned through the web for similar issues. But nothing that can magically solve my problem yet.*
Been lurking on this forum for some time now, and today is the day I post
.
I am faced with an electrical issue. I have done some preliminary checks and wanted to see if you guys can push me in the right direction before combing through the electrical system.
Back story - The bike ran fine. Recently had its carbs cleaned, oil changed, valve gap'd, cam tension'd, new sparks, forks replaced, new petcock, and did
nothing to the electrical sys.
// Here is what happened //
After completing the maintenance service, I put gas in, go turn on the ignition. All lights are on and everything seems normal like it used to be. Hit the starter button, and boom - lights off - and did hear the starter solenoid go "click" once (i think).
// Here are some quick and easy things I have looked through //
Battery - Tested at Napa - Passed - 12.8V
Battery Terminals - Looks good
-->Supplying Voltage to the starter solenoid
-->15A Fuse not Blown, swapped in a couple of new ones to test too
Winker Relay - Looks like it has continuity
Wiggle all connectors
Looked for shorts and bad grounds
Drink beer, wait, and still no power
// What's next? //
Maybe pull out starter solenoid to test - would it cause the whole sys to go down?
Test Silicon Rectifier & Regulator - but that should be used for AC/DC conversion no?
Ignition switch bad?
What component would cause the system to go down if not the ignition switch?
Thank you guys for hearing out my rambling.
I am a noob, and any help is greatly appreciated
. Thanks in advance!
