Title: power issue
Post by: brown.rw on August 26, 2007, 09:32:36 AM
Ok, so I am hoping this is a quick simple fix. I replaced my battery a few weeks ago, fully charged and was having no issues. One morning last week I went out to ride to work (about 6am) and the bike had no power. I mean nothing, no lights, no indicators, nothing!

I have the battery on a leak charger right now just to make sure, but it does say it is charged. Is it possible there is just a wire that lost its connection?

As a side note, i live in Fort Myers, FL. The humidity is between 70-100 percent this time of year. Rains every day in the summer and fall. The bike is usually wet from dew in the mornings and the gauges always have condensation in them.

Please help if you can. Thank you.

Richard

It is possible for a connection to come loose, thats what happened to me. But first check the fuse, make sure your not looking at the spare though.

You may have also left the key in the "park" position and drained the batt as well  :thumb:
