#110924 jkstar (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 13 Re:Turn key on but nothing lights up or works 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Here si some more information. The previous owner installed a few led lights that shine on the motor. before the problem started they would come on when the key was turned to on and would come of when the key was turned to off. Could his wiring be causing a short and if it was would't it cuase a fuse to blow.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #110928 Scrubber (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 108 Re:Turn key on but nothing lights up or works 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Did you take the battery terminal cables completely off the battery, clean them up real good, and then reconnect them? I recently had the same problem, the terminals were tight but corroded between them. After the cleaning, she fired right back up   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #111017 Tbone21 (User) Are you out of your VULCAN mind??? Senior Boarder Posts: 310 Re:Turn key on but nothing lights up or works 3 Years, 5 Months ago   JKStar - Scrubber is on to something there. I pulled into the drive from a ride, powered down and went inside for a while. Came back out to garage the bike, and upon turning the key on, NOTHING. Fiddled around and upon removing the seat and tweaking the negative post on the battery, found it to be loose. Tightened it up, and she fired right up.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #111019 jkstar (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 13 Re:Turn key on but nothing lights up or works 3 Years, 5 Months ago   I will try this tonight and let you know.

As a test, I swapped in my wife's v-star battery and my bike started right up. I should have tried this first. Thanks for all the great advice from everyone.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #111208 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Turn key on but nothing lights up or works 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Weird that it would totally die just like that. You should probably run a check on your system. Make sure it's working right.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #111217 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!!

Thanks for letting us know what it was, I have been watching this thread wondering what was going wrong. Good thing it was something simple. I changed my battery out this spring only because it was 8 years old and I figured I had better do it before it left me on the side of the road like a Harley... No I didn't just say that. I didn't mean it really.....Its a joke, a joke I say!! Noooo don't pull that trigger!!!.......lol.
