I have no headlights working and my bike will not start with the push button but will start with a push still have no headlights when running park lights blinkers and tail lights all work. shut it off to fuel up and this happens all fuses are good and connectios under tank are plugged in .can someone help me out thank-you
Headlights and, starter motors require more amps (power) than the blinkers and, taillights
so: jump your battery before you tear into the wiring
If it still doesn't start or, light up
I'll help you troubleshoot the wiring
OK; A full old battery is not the same as a full new battery: a battery puts out 12v at 40 amps but, over time that can fall to 12v at 2amps this is plenty to light the lamps but, does not have enough ummph to turn over an engine so I suggested you jump start your bike with a car battery for that reason then we'll go from there
good! now we're doing something! can you get to the two wires that go to your starter motor? if you can; place / hook the jumper cables on those connection points / wires and, the motor should crank
if it does you have badly corroded battery cables be careful; the motor will turn the minute you make contact
Are you saying that you jumped the start switch and, still the starter wouldn't turn?
Do you have a meter or a test light?
how do you know the fuses are good? did you test them live on both sides with your test light glowing? by the way; run a wire from the battery to the positive headlight wire and, or; the headlight switch see if the headlight lights; if it does not light; run a wire from the frame to the negative side of the headlight wire to see if you have a ground; thanks
you're welcome please give me a fixya
