[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1387350, member: 68872"] The fuses would be a great place to start. Make sure all the electrical connections are tight. Then with either a test light or a meter I would begin testing at the battery and work my way back. I find a test light easier (one hand operation) in this kind of testing. They are cheap, buy them at any auto parts store. Looks like an Ice Pick with a wire coming out the handle. Clamp the end of the wire to the battery negative, poke the sharp end to the battery positive and the light should turn on. Leave the clamp on the battery negative. Follow the big wire from the battery positive to where it goes, which will probably be the starter relay, but it could be to the starter itself. Poke that terminal, light should come on. If it doesn't, then either the wire is bad or the connection is dirty. If it is a relay then there will be another wire about the same size going from the relay to the starter. Poke that terminal and try to start the bike. If the light turns on when you push the start button, then the relay is good and the starter is bad. If you get nothing out of the relay then either the relay is bad or the control to the relay is bad. There should be a small wire that connects to the relay which would come from the starter switch. Poke this terminal, and push the start button. If the light comes on, but the relay doesn't operate, then the relay is bad. If you get nothing at the small wire terminal then you need to trace that wire up to the start button. Now it gets harder to trace. The small wire on the relay should go to the handlebar area but the exact order and how it routes can be hard to establish. There is the "push button" and the key switch. Somewhere there should be a fuse. Now is where you need the service manual. Rod [/QUOTE]
