You have a dead short somewhere,Just start tracing wires for the ignition first.

Start with the switch and work your way back.

Yamaha wont turn over

Hi. Yes more than likely it is the battery. Even when boosting it the battery can drain all the power from the boost battery. You could try topping up the acid then charge it.

I have a 1997 gsxr 600 and my fueses keep blowing and it wont turn my bike over i changed it and it worked but its doing the same thing now any reason for that?

Hi, you must look for a shorcircuit somewhere , maybe a ***** wire touching the frame.
also check for insulation of the starter conections.
Good luck

I have a 79 t140. starts second or third kick. uses a boyer igition system. Ride 30 miles and have a rest. when I try to start the bike again takes a lot of kicking. got home tested the battery...

Your voltage regulator has packed up, have you jumped it from a car? thats guaranteed to stuff it! 85+amps 12v into 16amps 12v dont go!
not dear to fix, look for electrex on google uk

Daytona 955i (02) ran rough display went blank management light

When there is no charging system operational, the bike will run wih battery in total loss mode. When it gets to a certain point of discharge, the first indication is indeed as you saw, the intruments go blank. There is little power left at this point and need to get home asap! 

Either the R/R (rectifier/regulator) and/or the stator is bad - both are unfortunately quite common failures on these bikes. 

You can find a diagnosis guide that I personally authored at this site: 
http://www.triumphrat.net/speed-triple-forum/104504-charging-system-diagnostics-rectifier-regulator-upgrade.html

Follow those guidelines and you will be able to determine which or both is failed.
Also is a recommendation for a retrofit/upgrade to a better component if you do need to replace the R/R.

Hello 1998 ACE Shadow 750 cc headlight not working high pitch alarm sound rotten egg smell and battery was very hot after sitting for a hour what could the problem be. Joyce

tthe battery has run out of acid and cooked itself(thats the rotten egg smell)it needs to be replaced,but even more sinister is the reason it did it,it sounds like the alternater has fried itself and that is why the battery cooked,so your alternater needs repairing before you put a new battery in,or it will cook the new battery to

08 650 executive, new battery but charging system doesn't charge

Your running off the battery until it dies. Check your chargng system. It should put out 13.0-14.5 volts. If not then the current will flow from what ever source has the most voltage. Thus, your dead battery. Try changing he voltage regulator and then check the stator next. Sometime stators can have burned section on them and reduce the voltage produced to the battery. Also check for really good connectin to the terminals. This can rob current and voltage by upt o 40%.

Starting problem

Sounds like you might have cooked the battery. Try with a new one, start the bike and see how it runs. Hopefully you didnt fry anything else.
