Hey, does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? I have a '93 Katana that I bought used and it'd been sitting there for who knows how long. But it ran okay and seemed like it could be restored to a decent level of condition. But then the other day while parking, my clutch cable snapped. Bummer. I bought a new one and worked on getting that in yesterday. Everything was routed fine and the new cable felt much better than the last one (kinked, frayed, and ultimately snapped). So I got on the bike, turned everything on and hit the ignition.
Absolutely nothing.
I've checked all the parts that I messed with when putting in the new cable, the clutch works and so does the neutral indicator, my battery's fine and all the rest of the electrics work, fuses aren't blown and I tried to check my spark plugs but my 5/8" socket doesn't seem to fit. What size are they?
I'm going to check those when I can and as soon as I can get my hands on a multimeter, I'll start checking the rest of the wires, though I'm not totally sure where to start. I hate those electrical diagrams. Where's the starter relay, anyways?
Still, I won't be able to get testing equipment for a few days, and there's work being done on the sidewalk where it's parked (towing=bad). So I have to go walk all the way across town and push it somewhere. Unfortunately, I live in Berkeley, so every direction is uphill. Should be iteresting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't have a camera here, but I can roughly describe what I'm seeing. Thanks to anyone who helps.
