Hello YOC members!

I've tried to fix a broken ignition wire on my bike, which was split in half. I took the plastic cover off the cable ends, and stuck them together. Without covering the wire with isolating tape, I started the bike and - stupidly - I turned the handlebar and the naked, cooper wire touched the metal fork which immediately stopped the engine. I thought: fine, the fuse is blown. So I checked the fuse box by the car battery, but all fuses were fine (I've changed them all, just to be safe).I've been told by my friend whom is a bike owner himself, that I should check the starter relay. The problem is, that I cannot locate it - and here's my question: does any of you know where the starter relay is on those bikes?

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers, 

Tom.

There should be a fat red cable running from the battery - that should lead you straight to the starter relay. Might be another fuse on that

@finnerz89 found it, thanks. Still no luck fixing the bike though. No power going to the dashboard. Any ideas?

Are you sure you've checked all fuses?

Looking at your original post you might've fried something in the dash when that wire shorted out.
