06 Kat - Electrical System is out!

[Hot Rod]

I have an 06 750. I replaced the throttle grip & body as well as put in a new battery. Before I replaced the weak battery at least I had dim lights. Now I have nothing, absoltuely nothing when I turn the key. I have no electrical system at all. I checked the new battery and the charger says it is charged. The fuses on top of the battery look good. What else can it be? I am stumped on this one. Is there a reset or another fuse along the way that I need to check?

is the battery in backwards?

If you just checked the fuses at the top of the battery, chances are you missed the main fuse on the right side (if you are nose-to-nose with the bike). That's probably blown for one reason or another.

If that's not it, verify you have everything screwed down tight on the terminals.

I have a buddy that has an 04 that learned this lesson. He took it to the stealership and they monkey raped him on the price to change that fuse.

Yeah, I was tracking down some wiring issues on mine (wiring red LED's) and thought the fuses over the battery were a little small to be the main fuse. Cracked open the manual and there it was.

Did you put a voltmeter on the "new" battery to check it or did you just believe the battery charger? Also, did your new battery come with electrolyte installed or did you fill it (or is it even filled now)?

I have done all the above. I think I found the culprit, though. I followed the positive lead off the battery to a conglomeration that had two 30 amp fuses. One of these was blown. Tomorrow I will know if that took care of it!

good luck!

Good find, I believe one of those 30 amp fuses is a spare.

One 30 amp fuse and the Kitty Kat is purring again. There are two fuses mounted on opposite sides of the battery cable a little less than a foot from the battery terminal. I had to take out about 6 cowling screws and pull the cowling out of the bracket just below the fuel tank to reach this area. It is possible that one of the fuses is a spare but it doesnt look like it. SO I bought some extras. Thanks to all for the ideas. I thought I was looking @ $$$$$$$. If it would only stop raining....... I'm going into withdrawls........

Glad you got it running!!

That's the main fuse assembly I was talking about, you have to take off the main side fairing to get to it. Glad that's all it was.

lol trust us, one of them is a spare

Glad it was an easy fix
