Barry1951 Posted July 17, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2012 OK, Rode into town this morning, TD started and ran like a top, stopped to meet wife for coffee. When I went out to leave, TD started fine, but then died, when I attempted to re-start, nothing, , ,no light, no fire, nothing, , , , Am new to RSTDs, , , , , ,littel help for what I am looking for. I am headed back into town in a little bit and will take tools/meter to check battery for power. Is there a master fuse and if so, where? Any other suggestions of what to look for???? Have never had a monutes problem with this bike so far. Kinda perplexing, , , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted July 17, 2012 Share #2 Posted July 17, 2012 Do a search on testing battery (using meter) and you'll see what the different outputs should be. Also check battery connection. Fuse - possible - located in lower fairings and left side under seat (I believe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzyosburn Posted July 17, 2012 Share #3 Posted July 17, 2012 Make sure you didn't just hit the kill switch by mistake. It's on the top of right hand grip, and very easy to bump with a gloved hand and not know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7Goose Posted July 17, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 17, 2012 There is a master fuse - it is behind the panel just rear of the main fuse box on the left side - you need to remove the passenger floor board to access it. If the main fuse is good, then remove and clean the battery connections - scrape the mating surfaces of both the wire terminals and the battery posts with a knife to make sure they are clean - they can develop a hard glass-like coating that blocks the connection.
