Started bike and rolled out and it died. went to re-start and nothing!!! Lights are on, batt reads 13.2 but no crank. Connections look good. I have no owners manual so if it's a fuse I don't see them. They're a couple of plugs to nothing under tank??? Any help appreciated.. Joe

fuses are under the plastic cover that is around the key. be careful as it is easy to break.
when you hit the strtr button do you hear a click?
the head lite should turn off when you push the strtr button.is any of this happening?

Headlight relay.
Its located under the right side of the tank. Hit the starter button and listen, you will hear a click coming from that area.
Good news is its only about $20 (if I remember correctly).

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Well went out and was looking for H/L relay and decided to wiggle wire from light to grip and that did it. So I know the problem and will take the grip apart when I get a chance. Thx
