Hi guys.
New to this forum / new to this site. At 36 years old (and having left new york after 32 years of dealing with abysmally terrible drivers) I finally bought a motorcycle... something I've wanted for quite some time. #winning.
I ended up buying a 1993 Katana which I can tell already by the way it idles...needs the carbs cleaned. Previous owner was fairly up front about that along with the usual tune up.
However... I was idling it recently...shut it off... next day... go to start it an not even electrical comes on when the key is turned. Bike is in neutral, clutch pulled in...all the usual stuff (which I've only learned recently) is done. I know there is a mythical "main breaker switch" somewhere which evidently is usually the culprit for a "totally dead electrical system" though I have fuggin' idea where it is.
Any help with locating said breaker switch would be most appreciated as I suspect thats what happened. I know there is also a tip sensor that could possibly be responsible for that though not sure if that would kill electrical also!
That said, many thanks for the help in advance...and... greetings to any other Katana owners from Pittsburgh!
