    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

the short of it
it was running then it just died
it wouldnt refire so
i took the tank off and checked the wires everything seems fine
i checked continuity on the starter button and kill button both tested ok
the clutch saftey switch was bypassed by previous ownernow i casnt get the start button to engage the starter
so i ran a remote switch to see if i could get it to fire
i get the starter to turn the engine over but it will not fire what can i do next ?
im not a motorcycle mech or a eletrical guru
but i am a fairly decent mechanic
im am stummped and dont know about this ignition system but hopefully with your help ill be rideing again before summers over
thanks
 
Since you can get starter to turn by jumping it, your battery is probably OK. When you turn on ignition do any lights come on? In any event, the main fuse powers the ignition switch which then powers the ignition fuse, etc. Check fuses, might be hard to tell, so just replace them , one by one- they can look good,but be no good!
