Bike not starting


Recommended Posts

I have a 2007 VFR800, I just upgraded my rectifier and replaced the battery. I took it out on a test drive about 5 miles. As I was pulling into my drive way the bike died. When I turn the key on nothing happens, no lights on the instrument cluster no fuel pump priming. I'm looking for a starting point to start tracing the problem. I've checked the 30 amp fuse next to the battery it's ok. Battery has 13.1 volts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Check both 30A main fuses one connected to starter solenoid and the other near battery.

Then check grounds.

Check battery-to-frame ground (under gas tank hinge) and frame-to-harness ground as well
