#99375 illstate (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 12 I have an electrical problem 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I took a little ride today, and stopped at a friends house. When I turned the key to the "on" position to start the bike nothing happened. I got no lights or anything. I jiggled the kill switch, and jiggled the key as well. Something I jiggled made the lights come on and the dash lights as well. however when I pushed the start button nothing happened. after getting the lights to come on with the "jiggles" I was able to get them on that way two more times, then nothing. I'm back to not getting any response from turning the key on. Has anyone had this problem? what was it, what did you do? Any help will be appreciated.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #99380 illstate (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 12 Re:I have an electrical problem 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   OH yeah.

Get a can of tuner cleaner from RadioShack and a tube of dielectric grease. On bolted connections take them apart, clean, grease, and reassemble. On plug in connections pull apart, spray with cleaner, plug & unplug several times, grease the pins, and reassemble. If the problem is a corroded connection and you cleane it; problem solved. If the problem is a loose connection and you tighten it; problem solved.

You probably have a pinched wire or two under the cluster. The harness is kinda stuffed alongside it, and can be difficult to get into a comfortable position. Good Luck.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #99435 illstate (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 12 Re:I have an electrical problem 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Thanks for the quick responses everyone. I checked the connections they are clean and tight. gonna look for the short when I get in from work.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
