Guest Tiggger Posted June 30, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 30, 2007 hi all, hope someone can help. i have a 89vr 1300. The stator went out on me i bought a new one. took housing off unplugged wires , replaced stator, replaced battery. went to start the bike and i got nothing. when turning the key on lights come on when hitting the start button lights go out. thats all it will do. Anybody got any idea's what could have happened? Yes i plugged the wires back in, yes i replaced the oil, yes new battery has a full charge.yes kill switch is in on postion, bike in neutral.

86er Posted June 30, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 30, 2007 OK, I hate to state the obvious, but check the kill switch and make sure that you're in neutral. (It's happened to us all at one time or another!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muffinman Posted June 30, 2007 Share #4 Posted June 30, 2007 Have you tried putting the kickstand up? The switch may be acting up. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeS Posted June 30, 2007 Share #7 Posted June 30, 2007 OK, clean the kick stand switch, with wd-40 blow out with compressed air, and the re lubricate the switch with some light oil. It might stick again, Also, there is a plug the wires from the switch go to , agout 10 inches from the switch, follow the wires, and clean the plug contacts.

Squeeze Posted July 1, 2007 Share #10 Posted July 1, 2007 BTW it is normal for the headlight to go out when you hit the starter. Glad alls well now. Yes, the Lights are shuted down by the Starter Button. That's because you want to have all the Battery-Power for starting. If you release the Starter Button the Lights come on again.
