Dead on the key......SORTED

Post by TaxiDriver »

The bikes been running faultless all this time,starts up straight away every time.
Booked in for suspension set up today and its dead on the key!!.
Battery fully charged,fuses all ok,just totally dead,it looks like its had the reg/rec replaced.
Any quick thoughts as to why its dead,maybe something simple before I have to rip it apart.

Any clicking from the starter relay ?

I had an issue with a non starter, changerd starter motor, cable, relay...turned out the battery had dropped a cell...Showed volts but not enough amps to turn it over...

Did you check the main fuse in the starter relay ?
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

Yes Mac,checked main and all other fuses.
There is no sign of life,no neutral light or anything.
