Turned out the blade connector for the wire from the start switch to the starter wasn't seated correctly. Easy to check .....   01x1buell Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2012 - 09:46 pm:        Easy to check?? how so ?? }   Triman023 Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 12:32 am:        Just behind the front pulley you will see the starter. There is a wire with a spade terminal that plugs into the starter, it can back out but still look connected. I know because my bike wouldn't start and I had it towed home where the driver dropped it on its side. After all that I pushed the connector back in and it has been fine since. I check it now and then..   01x1buell Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 10:35 am:        ok i will check that out   Natexlh1000 Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 10:55 am:        Corrosion in the fuses-fuse block did mine before. Take each out, scrape it clean, WD40 and reinstall. It looks dry in there under the seat but a fair amount of crap seems to be able to get at the back of the fuses from below.   Akbuell Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 11:27 am:        Triman has the wire I'm talking about. The green wire w/a black sheath that plugs into the bottom of the starter near the speed sensor. Go ahead and unplug it, and connect your volt meter. With the ign and stop/run switches on, you should see 12V every time you push the starter button. If so, plug it back in and you should be good.   Harleyelf Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 01:24 pm:        You could short out the ignition switch. My '99 S3 had a similar issue last year and has been trouble-free electrically since I replaced mine.   01x1buell Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 01:42 pm:        ok i checked the green wire and i am getting no power when i push the starter button.   01x1buell Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 02:40 pm:        ok i pulled the starter button apart and i am getting 11.8 volts at the contacts inside so i do not htink that is the problem.   01x1buell Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 03:06 pm:        i think i might have it figured out,, number 86 in the relay block was loose and fell out.   01x1buell Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 03:18 pm:        it works now thanks for the help guys, no i just need to charge the battery .   01x1buell Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 04:03 pm:        well its running .   Natexlh1000 Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 08:05 pm:        It's alive!   Akbuell Posted on Monday, March 26, 2012 - 08:50 am:        Excellent !!! Glad you have it working! And stupid me, I forgot to mention the relays. Good on Ya. Dave
