Please help Fuse Block. These things are famous for the fuse block going bad. Consider replacing with an aftermarket block if it's chewed up too bad.

bralkan Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Update- The battery I know for a fact is good Check your fuses. If the battery is good, you should have instrument lights whether or not the stator / field coil / voltage regulator / voltage rectifier are good.

Moderator drewpy Posted May 20, 2008 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2008 you havn't inadvertantly switched off the bike via the kill switch did ya? eh? wobble your keys in the ignition switch in case its not making contact and take out and put back your fuses ensuring all is clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
