John - I'll test that out in the AM and see whats happening.
Thx,

- July 26, 2013, 12:02:25 PMJust a quick question..
I've looked at the circuit diagram for your bike and it looks as if you have it switched to Park instead of on at the ignition switch..
If so I think you should only have voltage to fuses 5 & 6...Did you check the fuses for voltage with the switch on or did you remove them and only check for resistance..

- July 25, 2013, 20:32:37 PMThanks for the comments guys, neutral, kill switch, and the 15 A fuse are all good. I did check that fuse first after having read prior issues with that.
I just have no power in anything other than the running (tail) lights, signals, and horn. I'm probably going to have to copy the drawing and probe the lines.

- July 24, 2013, 11:07:04 AMCheck the red kill switch on the right handlebar; maybe it isn't working properly.....I've bumped mine getting off after a ride and had to scratch my head for a minute or 2 when going to start it the next time.

- July 23, 2013, 19:58:12 PMThe only thing that happens when I turn on the key is that the tail/running lights come on and the high beam indicator comes on and stays on and the signals work. I hear no relays, fuel pump, the FI light doesn't come on or the headlights. The key switch seems to be doing it's job, the fuses are good, the bike got parked in the barn after a ride last night, and he battery was at 12.8v when I finally had to walk away tonight (so its on charge). I pulled the fuse box and theres no gremlins growing in the back of it. I was wondering if it was the VDS. Unfortunately I cant test anything because the ECU doesn't work either. Bike was running tip top yesterday, don't get it. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Dave
