Hi, new here and normally a budding fireblade enthusiast,not today...today I,m the idiot who in haste jumped my bike with the leads the wrong way round...ashamed to say the least but accepting the inevitable now.. Battery was just turning over but not enough to start..so jumped it( wrong way round),and now no lights,no noise nothing,,,dead.. Any help or serious advice would be really..really appreciated?
Don't mean to keep on but I,m really worried about this and need some calm reassurance that scooby is on the right track,not that I doubt you at all mate,please don't think that,you were kind enough to reply and I thank you for that,i,d just like a second opinion if there's one out there?
What year is your bike? Most fuses are under the seat near the battery. I'm guessing you would have blown the main fuse which on a 12 blade is just above the battery.
Hi,thanx Adeano,,bike is 2006, can I i test it,i,m useless with electrics but willing to learn...fast.and thx bryan
You have some fuses behind the pannel but if same as my 05 you will have a main one tucked behind the battery (up towards the tail)
Main fuse should be about 30 amp and usually blade type which are see through. You should be able to see if fuse wire is blown between the blades of the fuse.
Hi Sonic, welcome to the forum, hope u get your battery problems sorted. Someone on here will give you the advice you need.
Sonic, Positive cable from battery goes to starter solenoid (black box) mounted on the black box should be a 30 amp fuse. Hope this helps
Don't Panic just yet! Fuses are there to protect and save any damage to systems Check every fuse on the bike and double check condition of battery!
