I'm having a few issues that I'm having trouble figuring out.
I put the bike back together this week. Battery was dead (going to buy a new one), but I gave it a charge and started it up after some struggling. Got the bike running, but here are where the issues start.
Previous owner threw the electrics together pretty sloppy. I haven't had to touch them until now. When I started up the bike, I had power to my headlight and tail light, but my brake light, blinkers, and dummy lights weren't working. I took it for a ride today, hit my kill switch, and it's now 100% dead. No lights, won't start, even with a jump. Pressing the start button or kicking it does nothing.
Now I don't think it's the kill switch. Everything seems to be OK there, and I can short the starter to get it to turn over. I checked the connection with a multimeter and it seems okay.
Kick starting the bike will not work, neither will push starting, or shorting the electric starter. It turns over but it's not catching.
Electrics on this bike are daunting to me. I've slowly been checking connections but I'm not making much progress. Any ideas?
