Hello all, I just recently got my 2003 vfr800 with 25000 miles on it. I was riding for about 100 miles then stopped to eat. Got back on the bike and started riding when my riding partner told me my lights were out. Sure enough they were and so was my whole dash! (Clock was on though, blinkers worked, and brake light worked). Rpm, speed, odometer ect didn't work. So then I got it home and looked at the fuses and they were all good. I cleaned the contacts on the battery because one looked corroded. I hooked back up the battery and now the bike won't start! Before the fuel pump would turn on even without the light comming on for it but now nothing. The bike will still crank but not start. Now I check the fuses again and the third one up is now blown. Also the plug that plugs into the starter relay is burnt. This is the only burnt wire that I found on the whole bike but this wouldn't cause the lights and dash to go out right?? I cleaned all of the connectors while I have everything off and they all look good. My bike does have the recall done because the blue connector only has the green wire on one side. Im stumped as to what would be causing this. Battery reads 12.6 when sitting. Can someone give me some things to check? Or should I just replace that fuse and connector to the relay and I should be good. It's wierd how the fuse wasn't blown before but the lights and dash still went out. Thanks in advance I need some help!!
