    Unhappy Electrics have died! HELP please

    Hi there,

    Electrics have died on GSXR 250. Turn on ignition and no dash lights nothing, not even a turn over of the engine. Tested battery 12-13v so no worries there. Bike had a full service 2days ago. Was working fine yesterday. Opened her up and all connections look fine. Just no go. Anyone got any ideas? I was thinking maybe a fuse/fuses. If so where are they located?

    Cheers
    Lats

    fuses are most likely in a wee box under the seat, if they all look fine could be that the circuit breaker (if it has one) has popped out... push her back in but if she pops out again you might have a short

    Hi

    It sounds like U have a multi meter (U have tested battery and it is OK). Use it to track where there is a stop in voltage supply.

    Has she been sitting outside in the rain? Could have caused a short.

    Good Luck.

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    I'd probably just turn the cutoff switch back on

    You have a loose connection somewhere then.

    Ok...

    Sounds like U have an idea what U are doing. So if U have power to the ignition switch, what happens when U turn the key? Do you then have power out from the switch?
