I was riding my buddies bike to bike week. It made it all the way there, but getting ready to come home, the starter shorts out everything electrical, lights, dash, etc when its queued up. Any ideas on what to start checking? I don't have a wiring diagram, so any suggestions would be great. Also if anyone has knowledge of tests I can perform, ie voltage or resistance checks of certain components, that'd help too.
Everything else on the bike works. I rode it all the way home (100 miles or so) by bump starting it and then not keying it off until I was home. I've verified that the starter relay works. To my knowledge there isn't anything else in the starter loop but the starter and the relay. My guess its a high current wire because when the power shorts out, the battery voltage drops down to around 1V. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
