UPDATE!

I got the bike running! So, what caused her not to start? Was it a bad starter relay?...no. Maybe a bad headlight relay?...no. How about a chaffed wire?...no. Bad ground (somewhere)?...no. Drum roll please…how about a BURNT OUT/SHORTED HEADLIGHT BULB!!! That’s right! For some reason, when my headlight blew it shorted, blowing the fuses I put it. Granted, I always felt a blown fuse indicated a chaffed wire, bad connection, ground problem, Etc. I never thought a burnt out headlight would short out (let alone prevent a bike from starting). Lesson learned. I’ll be riding with a spare bulb from now on.

If you’ll excuse me, it’s time to get back in the saddle.





ah, simple stuff!

Your headlight bulb must have been shorted. I rode for thousands of miles with a burnt out low beam.
