[XV1100 nothing happening]

Where will I find the fuses ? I have just put the meter on the battery and it is showing 12.68 I am convinced this is me as a similar thing happened before and it turned out to be the kill switch on the right handlebar had somehow got pressed probably by me but please imagine the embarrassment when it was pointed out to me, anyway that was my first port of call and it has not happened again

[XV1100 nothing happening]

Hi everyone I have been a member for a while and recently bought a 1988 xv1100 which has been running fine for the last few days this morning I felt like taking in some sun so went to fire it up and zilch no ignition lights no neutral light no headlight no starter I have been out of bikes since the British lost the market so I suppose this is all learning again without a kickstart is this something simple I have not done, the battery seems to have plenty of life but it is not being delivered can anyone give me a clue here before I make an idiot of myself and get it taken to a garage to be told it is my fault many thanks Chris

Hi everyone this is to introduce myself, I am no spring chicken but have had classic british café racers for a long time and at the moment have a 1960 Triton which is a hybrid Norton slimline featherbed frame and a pre unit 650 triumph bonneville engine and box uprated to 750, I have joined because lately I have been drawn to an early R1, I rode my mates a few months ago and what power I felt 16 again but doubt I have a 16 yr old's bottle anymore, anyway any guidance and advice welcomed and best place for insurance as the company I am currently with only deal with pre 80 stuff and do not have or give no claims discount
