    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.

GS250x TSCC Won't start, completely dead

Hi everyone! This is my first post on here and I am hoping some of you experts can offer me some advice. I bought a gs250x at the beginning of the summer and it ran great. Slight leaking from the petcock but nothing super major. I worked on the aesthetics a little bit (it was a cafe project by the original owner) and didn't really mess with anything too technical. Last week, I finally decided it was time to start riding, and rode for about an hour, when I accidentally stalled at a stop sign (I am new to riding). I got it home and tried to jump the battery with my car, which I later learned is a terrible idea. Not only was the car on, but I revved the engine a little bit, just out of sheer idiocy. The bike ran after that but when I rode it an hour later, I stalled it again and now is completely dead. The electric started doesn't make so much as a click, and none of the lights show any signs of life. I know that I am quite the dumbass but any tips as to where to start looking would be great. I located the plug in fuse (I can't seem to find any classic glass fuses) and it looks alright? I just honestly don't know where to begin. Thanks a ton
 
Do you have a multimeter or can you gain access to one? If so, start checking the battery voltage and confirm the fuses are good to start with. Then we can start with the serious troubleshooting.
 
Motocasey electrical issues are common to the GS series of bikes.
You likely have a charging problem. Get a cheap meter to check thing better yet borrow one.
Do a search on the stator papers and run the tests.
