There is one main fuse on the positive lead close to the battery in an inline connertor usually. I bet that's it.

Was your bike like this when you got it?

I wonder if the keyswitch is bad. It should ground the CDI when turned to off and in the on supply power for the lights.

It sounds like somebody messed with it. Can you remove some body work and look for signs of tampering?

kdubb · 04-05-2012, 03:16 PM

no i doesnt look like anyone messed with anything all the wires looked good and the bike doesnt look like its been tooken apart since it was first put together hmm idk its got me stumped

Ok, then Kato is most likely correct, in that the ignition switch has failed. It has four wires going to it, and they're in one common connector. It's very easy to unplug the switch and replace it.

I have the same switch on my ATV, and it drove me mad trying to troubleshoot it. I plugged a replacement switch in, and there was no difference, so I proceeded to pull the rest of the harness apart, trying to find a short or bad switch. It turns out that the new switch was wired differently from the old switch, despite the wire colours being the same. :roll:

If you remove your switch and show us a pic, we can probably show you how to test it. Make sure we can see the wire colours.
