so i turned my key on and heard a pop. shortly after the pop i lost complete power to the entire bike. any suggestions on where to begin
Check your fuse... under the seat on the right side (while sitting on the bike) :thumb:
There may also be an underlying problem that caused the fuse to blow, but thats the place to start :thumb:
Hmm... to ad to what I said.. Looks like you say that the bike still had power for a bit after the pop?
it made a pop had taillight for like 1 or 2 seconds and then had nothing or my eyes could have been playing tricks on me. is there anyother fuses besides that one
No... Just the one fuse :thumb:
I would check the battery area as well for shorts. Check the batt w/ a volt meter if you have one :thumb: Also check all the electrical connections.
Make any electrical changes lately?
A side note....
I had electrical trouble w/ the GS recently and somehow I had a fuse that checked good by eye and even w/ a meter but I replaced it anyway and it worked :thumb:
???
ok i got it. it was the the part that the visible fuse is in on the right like where your leg goes. yeah there is a hidden fuse inside there and that happen to be the one that was blown
The visible one is the spare.
o no way. i had to search for an hour last night just to find one in the bottem of a box of parts.
