Cool Re: Bike wont start

Like sgt. said sounds like ethier the batt is no good or could have bad ground. If fuel injected there is a fuse under the seat you will need a manuel to know witch one it is.

Re: Bike wont start

I'm with Smitty on this

I would start with the connections first then on to the fuses. If you have corrosion going up the battery cables under the insulation I would replace them.
