Title: My moron friend...THANKS...
Post by: jazerr on December 18, 2006, 10:21:11 AM
So, I need help.

Yesterday was sunny, so I was getting set to go for a ride. Haven't ridden in a few weeks, so battery was nigh to dead. I said to my friend, "there's cables in the garage, jump it for me while I get geared up."

So I come out about 5 minutes later and he's freaking out. No power to anything.

Turns out that he reversed the battery poles.

My problem is not in the starter I think, its more basic than that but I dont know where to start. When I turn the key, I get no lights on the intrument panel.

What do I do?

Check the fuse on the right side, under the side cover.

It's pretty obvious.  It's under the right side frame cover (the plastic under the seat).

Yep, take the seat off, then pull out the front of the plastic side cover (pops out of a rubber grommet, so you can pop it back on, and off without tools), and you may see a fuse (clear yellow plastic), that's the backup, the one in use is under the cover next to it.
