Hey guys, I was just musing to myself how few problems i’ve had with my 2015 CR as it exits its warranty period this month. Went to try and start it and nothing on the button.
The bike is always on a tender and previously never fails to start, first push. There is plenty of juice in the battery, lights on, horn works, fuel injection pump operates as normal. Engine neutral, side stand up, pull in clutch (or leave it disengaged) and nothing whatsoever from the starter switch. Almost as though the sw was disconnected. Total silence.
Unfortunately electrics is not my strong area. You can’t see it, and it can kill you!!
I had just finished cleaning the bike, degreasing the front end, and fitting new Rizoma CR mirrors, although I feel sure that I ran the bike afterwords.
Any technical wisdom would be greatfully received as I think my warranty ran out last week!! Sod’s law of course!
Regards.
