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.

Bike suddenly lost power while riding

Hey all,

So I also wanted to add a quick update that I was rear ended by a kid texting in a Ford Explorer, I'm okay but the bike took fender damage but that's all I can see.

anyway I was getting the bike (1983 450t) ready for winter storage and had just put a battery tender lead on the battery and I had also been running it afterwards with fuel stabilizer inside. because I'm stubborn I decided to get one last ride in before the winter and while riding down my street in about 5th the bike lost power and the rear wheel locked up. I of course pulled the clutch and was literally just about in front of the house.

I currently get no power while turning the ignition whatsever. Also, I can still move the bike while it is in gear so I don't think I blew up anythong mechanical.

Maybe I blew a fuse or fuses. Maybe I forgot something after putting the charger lead on the bike.

Thanks
 
M 77 750 did that once right as I pulled into the work parking lot. Turned out a wire thats soldered to the bottom of the ignition switch came off. Had to hot wire it to get home after work. 10 minutes with the soldering iron and its been good since.
 
Hmmm I'll definitely check that. I know Suzuki didn't have the most.. "Premium" wiring designs.. But they're at least pretty simple.
 
Haha I wouldn't put it pastyself but nope that's not it. No power in any capacity.
