This morning i went and washed my bike and then decided to remove my old turn signals and put the new LED signals on that DBLXX gave me.
I removed the tail, the old lights, and soldered everything.
At one time i turned my key on and tried the signals and sometimes they didn't work and all i had to do was switch the wires around and they worked.
So when i'm done with the project, i go to start my bike and the battery is dead. So i throw on the charger, come out a couple of hours later and try to start the bird and i don't hear the fuel pump run, but i have strong lights, etc.
What could the problem be??????

Check your fuses Don.

Aaaaahhhh, never mind.
I found the problem, and it WAS a real easy fix.
I don't even know if i should post it, because i feel like a big thick dick!!!

I'll tell you guys anyway, I'll take the harassing that's coming to me.
Evedently when i cleaned my bike i hit the kill switch and forgot to turn the kill switch back on.

:pointup: :pointup: :pointup:

BONEHEAD! :wink: :grin:

I love you guys too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring on more!!!!!!!!

:hammer: :banghead: :whip:

you know I was going to be a smart ass and say check the kill switch and then maybe add to check the fuse too, but then I decided to be nice and let it go....... hmmm.... next time beware I will jump on it.

There are two kinds of motorcyclists. Those who say they've done that, and liars.

Don't feel bad, Don. Been there, done that. More times than I can count.

dood, dunno 'bout you, but msf taught me that's the way to turn off my bike, 10 years ago :grin:

kill switch, then key off.

am i hurting the bike by using the kill switch to turn off the motor instead of just keying off?

I like using the kill switch built into the side stand. That way I know it's in gear and the side stand is down.

:pointup: That I do also!.... but it's usually AFTER starting the bike and dropping it into a gear with the stand down :???:

:twak: Wake up!

Too funny. Shit like that happens to me all the time.

Hey, at least you figured it out :wink: .

Here they come :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :chicken:

I use the kick stand as well. That way I know it is down when I get off the bike. :roll:

Doesn't hurt anything. But if you ride my bike and do that, I'll come bust your kneecaps with a ball peen hammer after I spend 30 minutes checking all my fuses.

I second swampy's statement!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry Don...Im sure someone...somewhere has done somthing even dumber than that. :twisted:

I always use my kill switch to turn the bike off. No real reason other than I just do. I guess a side benefit is that if Carlos or Don ever tries to steal my bike they will eventually give up trying to start it and move on. :twisted:

That's a good one richard.
