Bike not starting, heard a pop from the rear.

Hi all,

So I'm running late this morning, so I hop on the chicken, pull choke out turn ignition on, make sure all is good, I hit the starter button and a pop from under my *** and all the lights go out and nothing! I checked all the fuses, all are good. Any ideas? It's been a long time, but This is the second time it has done this to me, the last time IIRC, I let is sit for a minute and tried again and it fired, WTF??? Is this a RR issue?

Thanks for any input.

Well... Have you checked the main fuse and the R/R then?

Nope, I was in a rush out the door, had to hop in the truck. Does the R/R have a fuse attached or is there a way to tell it's bad? I didn't check the main fuse, where is that one? Like I said I was in a rush and didn't have time to go through it thoroughly.

The main fuse is under the rear cowl opposite from the R/R... No fuse by the R/R, but if it popped, it will most certainly look and smell damaged...

Other than that you can measure it up and find out if it's working OK... http://www.electrosport.com/technica...ding-guide.php
