Bike suddenly just died! DEAD!

[Vloukole]

I drove home from a friends house and as I came to a speed bump , I slowed down and then the bike just died. It shut down. No lights or anything.

Maybe a fuse???

oh and I had to push it back to my friends house!!

It's certainly possible that a mechanical shock dislodged something that was overdue for replacement. Test the fuses that don't look blown for continuity. Also, the fuse panel itself may be corroded enough to have an internal break. One of mine was just sort of leaning against the main fuse instead of gripping it.

Anyhow, at this age, the whole electrical system is a time bomb unless you've taken the time to clean and possibly overhaul it. At least you were within pushing distance when it went, instead of someplace much more interesting.

Like surrounded by lions, hyhenas and leopards.

And don't rely on a visual inspection to see if a fuse is "good".

It is possible for them to break under the metal cap, where you can't see it.

Where is the fusebox located?

yes there is always something to be glad about.

For that question, it would be helpful to know which model and year but, typically, they are under the left side cover.

Based on the title of his first post - Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G) - I'd say a 1000G.

Vloukole, please go into the User CP, Edit Signature, and put that information in there so we never have to ask.

Fuse Box

Here's a pic of my fusebox:



Trying to find the one without the cover so you can see the numbers.
