No Electronics
 

Started my bike for the first time since re-wiring everything this morning, here's how the story goes:

Turn ignition key, f4i clocks power right up! Tach seems to be working properly and everything!

Shut it down to address a couple of tuning issues, look at fuel, etc. Leave for 30 min to hardware store. Come back, turn key. NO CLOCKS! I know I had it right, cause they had just worked. Bummed, I remove key and leave.

Come back, turn key, no clocks. Didn't think to start the bike before, so I try starting it and fires right up! So it's not a dead battery or anything. I may have spilled gas on some of the harness , but there doesn't appear to be any connectors or anything in the spot that I was looking at. Fuses all look good. I have an R1 R/R in it. Brake lights, nothing works.

Any insights?

Don't everyone help at once!

JK- I had just dislodged the connectors inside of the F4I gauges and didn't see it before. Electronic stuff is just so weird for me. I still feel like I'm working with freakin little keebler elves running around inside of wires following some unwritten code of the copper and every once in awhile they poke their little hatted head out to make fun of me...

God helps them that helps themselves.

I'll go withthe elf one. They seem to come to my place every once in a while for vacation.

Did you check the fuses? Do some circuit testing to see if they are getting power? I accidently drilled into my harness. Fixed everything but still no tach. It turned out the ECU was jerked by the drill through so I replaced it & all was well.

Oh yeah I got it fixed eventually. Ended up checking fuses, harness, voltage, everything it seemed... turns out you have to plug the gauges in both ends for them to work haha!

Glad you got it figured out. Kinda hard to diagnose some of these via the intarwebs.
