adjusted the valves, now no electricity

[rgierer]

The bike is an 85 GS700E. I decided I should adjust my valves. I pulled the tank, fairing, coils then the valve cover. Throughout this time I hit the starter several times and thngs cranked about as normal. I adjsuted the valves with my new tools just for this purpose. Put on my new gasket and reassembled torqueing carefully.

Then I turn on the key and hit the starter zip. Then Checked my fuses. 1 was blown so I replaced it. when all is said and done...now I have no lights in the dash whhen I trun on the key and no starter. The headlight is still working. I have pulled apart lots of wiring and have found nothing.

Need so ideas and a large dose of patience before I take this on again.

I got up, walked out to the garage and dropped the coils free from the frame. All is good bike fired right up. I must have beengrounding something against the frame. I will attach the coils properly tommorrow and my life will be good. Thanks for being there.
