Electrical issue
Written by unlikelylogi... on 6/30/2010 at 03:49 pm

Sam,

There is a 30A main fuse on the starter relay under the seat. If it went out
then you wouldn't have lights, horn, or anything else. Sounds like you'll need
to look elsewhere.

The schematics for the various model years are available at:

Tip: Including your model year, or that of your PC, in your posts is helpful.

Oddity: When you press the starter switch the headlight should go out.

Pop questions: The side stand is down, correct? Does pulling in the clutch
lever change the behavior?

Working from the 1997/8 schematic, the black wire at the engine stop switch
should be hot when the ignition switch is on. When the switch is set to "run"
it feeds power to the black/white wires at the ignition coils (behind the left
air duct/maintenance lid) and the black/white wire on the starter switch.
Pressing the starter switch then forwards it on, via the yellow/red wire, to the
starter relay.

Does any of that help?
