    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.

Just rebuilt the carbs on my bike and was going to take it for a little ride. When I put the key in to start it nothing happens, I mean no lights, no oil light, gear or neutral lights. Ran it down the street and jumped it worked and idled fine. Shut it off and tried again no joy. Does anyone have any idea of where to start looking for the problem

Thanks
 
My guess would be the one and only fuse on the bike.

Without the fuse, current can not get from the battery to the bike, but once you bump-start the engine, the charging system will power the bike. Because the fuse is apparently not intact, you will not be charging the battery, though.

Checked the fuse looks good, was thinking it maybe the ignition switch? not sure where to go next
