Hey Guys , im trying to get my new project to start, but im having trouble getting any form of power, i have replaced all the fuses, new battery, still nothing, not even lights, any suggestions? should i attempt to re-wire the bike, or are there some other things i should try?

get your test light ,prick the wires with it at different places to see how far power is actually travelling before you lose it,plus you could try all connections and check your earth lead

ok i tried that and i seem to be getting power everywhere, but still nothing, any ideas?

when you say your getting power every where what is actually the problem,no spark,no power when ignition is switched on ,maybe if youve been playing with ignition switch you havnt re conected wires properly:?

Check the sidestand switch, and also the clutch switch - if either of these are open, the bike won't start. Are you still using the ignition switch ?
Cheers,
Brian

i havent played with anything , i turn the key and i dont get any response front anything, lights or indicators , globes are not blown but they are getting power, tried both the side stand and the clutch switch and still nothing , it doesnt turn over, spark - nothing

sounds like ignition switch,mabe wire off

ok ill have a look, but if i have my tester light plugged in and turn the ignition on it lights up and vice versa, there is power getting to everything except the tail lights, but if i turn it on there is power everywhere but nothing works , i just dont understand, if there is power right up to say the headlights they should be working

just another guess but sounds like a earth problem,probably something simple

Like above check earth- should have heavy wire from negative battery to engine case- rubber mounted engine in your bike makes this even more critical. I ran extra earth wires on my GT550 for the same reason.

thanks for the replys fella's, ill try that now

ok the ground on the engine is fine, does anyone have a pic or diagram of the clutch switch, is it attached to the clutch handle or is it in the block?

ok does anyone have a picture of the junction box ,ic and the relays just so i can visually confirm everything is there please

ok i have the fuel pump working when i press the ignition button, i have a few spare plastic plugs near the junction box, im not sure what they are for, i think one is for the indicator relay, the other one i have no idea, any help would be greatly appreciated
