Just lost all power to my Hawk DLX??

BakedOregonian · 06-22-2021, 05:30 PM

I added a pod filter and removed my airbox and now I have no power when I turn the key. No electronics were tampered with and my battery is fully charged. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

Blown fuse? disconnected ground? Check that you didn't accidently unplug a connector.

You said removed my air box, so I too would agree with Jerry!

Both positive and negative are attached to the battery, is there another ground? My dashboard lights up when I kickstart her but she doesn't start.

**JerryHawk250** · 06-22-2021, 05:48 PM

Check bolts where the ground is attached to the engine and connection where the positive attaches to the relay.

Another thought is the injector plugged in? I'm not around my bike so thinking out loud?

Make sure you didn't accidently turn on the kill switch.

My voltmeter is getting activity at the positive relay and negative.

I jump the relay and she ignites but doesn't catch. I ride her to work so I'm pretty much freaking out.

Continuity check off the negative lead from battery side to the engine? There should be a ground lead off the negative terminal with a ring connector that the terminal screw goes through.. maybe? Also +1 JerryHawk for fuses - I can't think of anything other than maybe the ground wire itself loose from the terminal side. Could have come loose from the crimp as well? Did you disconnect any of the wiring? I wouldn't say idle, but you did put a pod filter on - which when I did, I had to raise my idle; but I don't think that's the issue... Last thought - maybe look at the voltage regulator plug? Just tossin out ideas..

Thank you my friends! Even though the fuse looked fine it was indeed faulty. Lesson learned.

Let us know how the dlx runs with the pod set up.

It added 5 mph easy for starters! I don't do any serious off roading so I shouldn't have any issues. It took a few for my efi to adjust but I am glad I made the mod.
