Turning a bike on... HELP!

Post by dickdastardly »

:oops:

CBR400 NC23 Tri-Arm

Basically, I want to know what needs to be plugged in for the bike to start. Things I've touched are the clutch which is now plugged back in. But the headlights are off. The fuses are in (there seems to space for two more but I had the bike working fine before and havn't touched them). Just what could I be missing is all? The neutral light wont even come on, no horn no nothing.

Thanks.

More detailed description and or a pic of what you have been upto would help loads

What exactly have you plugged into the clutch ???

Was the bike running prior to your unplug-a-thon ?

All the engine ignition circuits, starter circuits, charging circuits, and poss the clocks will need to be in, the lighting will be irrelevant to the starting of the bike, handlebar controls (kill switch), and sidestand switch (if fitted) need to be in !

Make sure these are correct and try again also get hold of a wiring diagram and ensure everythings right as it doesn't sound like you have one to hand

When I say plugged in, I Just mean the cable that comes out with the pins is plugged back in where it should be. The bike was running and nothing has been touched. I really have no clue where to start. Any ideas as to what I should even be looking for then I can say if they're done or not.
