GV250 electronics problems

[Rawkfist]

Hey guys, I'm new to riding & this forum... nice to meet you all.

The other day while getting some practice in I accidently dropped my Hyosung GV 250 and broke the right hand indicator.

After picking her up I was unable to push start her (the batteries been a bit flat since I got it and have had to push start if I haven't ridden in a few days). I also noticed the lights and indicator wouldn't work.

I checked the fuse but that seems to be fine. Is it possible that the batteries just completely dead or is there another issue I should be looking for?

Any input would be greatly appreciated :yes:

One of the points in the basic troubleshooting post is that when you have a fault, you need to think about anything that changed on the bike, any serviceing etc that was done immediately before the fault appeared.

In your case, it sounds like the bike was running fine, you dropped it, and now it has issues. Therefore, something was damaged in the drop so tht is where you need to start looking.

First - WAS it running fine before the drop(apart from low battery - see below)? No hesitating, did it start and run OK?

If so, then you might have broken a connection in the drop, blown a fuse as a result of smashing the lights, broken the killswitch etc. Check the bike over, remove broken indicator bits, check the battery leads and the fuses. What are the symptoms when it doesn't start? Nothing at all? Neutral light working? Engine turns over but sluggishly? We can go from there once you give a bit more detail.

You mention that the battery has been a bit flat since you got it - when did you get the bike and what's your riding pattern been since you got it? If the battery has not had a decent charge because you are doing short low speed trips as you learn to ride, then there might be nothing more to all this than your battery needing a good run, but you might also have a faulty charging system. This is something to look at when the bike is running again - it takes a $10 multimeter and 10 mins of your time to check that you are not up for a breakdown in the middle of nowhere or unnecessary expenses.

Allun has it correct you've no doubt blown the 15amp main fuse which is located on the right hand side behind the plastic cover, remove the seat with your ignition key to undo the lock, then remove the plastic cover using a big flat head screwdriver on the single screw holding it in place now you can access the small black fuse box you will have a spare one sitting inside before you swap it make sure no wires are touching from the smashed indicator & the positive lead on the battery is in no way contacting the frame.
