    whatt would cuz my bike to die when i hit the start button?

    i changed my bars out yesterday, and i defeloped a problem. when i hit the start button, she goes dead. i took apart the controls, both right and left side. looked to see if i pulled any wires out or maybe damaged something. cleaned them out real good w/ some electronic cleaner and made sure the cobwebs were gone. has far has that goes everything looked ok. i got my lights to come on once, when i dropped her down from the center stand. they came on, i hit the start button and back to dead. i did notice yesterday she died when i put her on the center stand. she never did this before. this is a problem w/ my 1980 gs1100L. thanks for any help. i am lost atm.

    A bad fuse would cause this. Also a loose connection.

      Check for a short on your clutch safty switch. If it grounds it wouldn't blw you fuse but would cut power to light and starting system.

        follow the wiring from the right hand control into the headlight. im willing to bet your problem lies in the connections in there.
