She RUNS!! Wahoooo! Yipeeee! After all the heartache, a dyna 3000 ignition did the trick! Since the bike has been apart for well over a year, I've got to get things all put back and tucked in, cleaned up, checked out, and ready to go. I am going to take it to the local gas station later...

I found that much of my problems were solved with a new battery. Now, the bike turns on, and the fuel pump primes, and v-boost servo goes, and I can start the starter. The motor now turns over! Here's the new problem: No spark! No spark on all 4 cylinders. The other issue: The headlight and...

I've checked the starter relay per manual instructions. (when I thumb the starter, it actually does click) I also tried jumping the starter... I even took the cable from the starter strait to the battery, and it did NOT turn over.

The volts instantly go to 12 with the kill switch set to stop.. and instantly to ~6v or so when set to run. Another indicator of this is my neutral light. It is bright with the switch set to stop... and dims instantly when the voltage drop when the switch is set to run.

What I mean by ON, is that the switch is set to allow the bike to start. kill switch off, I mean that it is set to turn the bike off. So, in other words, if the kill switch is set to off, which would normally shut the bike off... I read a full 12v on the system. As soon as it is switched to...

Well, I think I'll try another battery today and see how that goes. Thanks for all the help so far.

as soon as the kill switch is ON, *everything* I can measure reads ~6v! It is quite frustrating.

Gotcha. As it stands, I haven't been able to start the bike since before the problem last year. I also have an 05 SV1000s, so I could perhaps try that battery? Would having a battery tender plugged in have an affect? When it is plugged in, all symptoms remain the same. Thanks for the...

is it really possible for a relatively new sealed cell battery to 'go bad' while riding such that the system voltage would drop and cut my fuel pump?

Hello all! Just found this forum, but it seems my first post is in desparation: My bike is dead! Here's what happened: I was riding along in my '89 v-max when my guages started going nuts, and the engine started running rough (as if it were almost out of gas) Then shuts off and I coast to the...
