You guys need to slow down here! In a rush with no thought is what got rider76 here.

Trip was on the right angle... always revert back to what it was before it got fucked up. Remove the "new" part.

DO NOT try to jump or push start. If you have no power that is a waste of time and putting un-needed abuse to the bike.

Things EVERY bike owner should have.

Service Manual... GET IT, AND READ IT!!
A multimeter... USE IT, AND USE IT OFTEN!!

Take the multi meter and set it to low DC voltage. Now check your battery. All this talk about "new battery this and that" is complete BS WITHOUT checking it first!! Needs to be 12.8 or better.

Now if it is good at the battery terminal then you must work your way out. You say you checked the fuses. Is there a seperate fuse for the tails and turns? On the main fuse, are you sure its not broke? This is where your multimeter comes in again. Check each fuse again with the multimeter on Ohlms. Put a multimeter terminal on each end of the fuse. Should show a closed loop. If not the fuse is no good.

I'm laying my money on these steps. There is more you can go thru but this is where it will be, sense you say you have no power anywhere.

Well... that unless your key switch is not switched to on or it is shot.


Now granted I'm just a chopper guy... but I have probably worked on more bikes this year alone than most of you have owned. And now I have people trucking bikes to my house to work on. Got a 1981 Honda Nighthawk in the garage for a complete work over from a non roadworthy to roadworthy bike. Take it for what you want... I'm not out a bike. My rep is good enough for most, the rest FTW.
