ejustin34 Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Just bought a 05 R1 from a friend. Wouldnt start so got it on the cheap. Finally got the neutral light to come on but now when i try to start the bike, kickstand up clutch in all a get is a click then the insturement cluster goes blank. let off the ignition insturement cluster comes back on as if i just turned the key to on. Any help would be appreciated.
Moderator Airhead Posted August 15, 2015 Moderator Posted August 15, 2015 could be like a flat battery, or a loose / dirty connection to the battery 1
slice Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 As above and bad earth, might be a faulty starter motor, check the brushes. 1

finnerz89 Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 If it hasn't got a crank then it definitely won't run
ejustin34 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Posted August 18, 2015 thanks think i figured it out. It seems i have a short to ground through the ignition kill switch.
Moderator Cynic Posted August 18, 2015 Moderator Posted August 18, 2015 Seriously. Forums are at heart a collection of mates talking bikes and taking the p.A much used comparison is a group of mates in the pub. If you asked the same question there straight out without even a hi. What would happen.The yoc is a VERY active forum with many members and few real rules. One big sensitivity of the masses though is first post questions.Glad you sorted it.
