Hello, I'm new here and I'm having problems with my bike that I just bought.

It was working perfect before but yesterday I wanted to take out the carbs just to have a look and get to know the bike a little. And after reassemble nothing happened when I turn the key..

What I did was:
Remove tank
Remove battery
Loosen air box
Loosen fender behind the airbox
Loosen ic ignitor
Loosen voltage regulator
Removed carburettor

I tried to remove the air box but failed, I didn't disconnect any cables except the battery cables but now I have two lose cables - one black and one black with white stripe. I can't find anywhere to connect them.

I tested the earth with a test light between the positive on the battery and a screw at the engine and the test light worked.

I also tried earthing these two loose cables to the engine, didn't work.

I think that maybe something got lose while I tried to take the air box out? I wigled it around a lot.

Please help, I need this bike for taking my motorcycle license.. I'll post pictures below. If you need more pictures let me know.

I solved it myself. It was the battery. When measuring with a multimeter it was 12.5v but when turning on the ignition and waiting 10 seconds it was around 0.5v.

Started with another battery.
