Just back from a week in France on the 600, decided to take the 1000 for a spirited run
. Bike out ignition on fired it up and then it died, Oh! hit the starter button again Nothing, looked at the dash all dead. Ignition off, ignition on nothing.
Think it was pissed off because I took the 600 instead of it to France
Seat off check the backup fuse and had power there, which ruled out the main fuse.
Only thing that could take out everything was the ignition switch or the connectors to it.
Tank lifted up and propped, Ignition on fiddled with the two pole main connector, everything lights up.
Problem obviously corrosion or break in the vicinity and since pulling/pushing the wires on either side of the connector had no effect, it was most likely corrosion. Out the tools, disconnected the positive battery lead and removed the 4 connectors from the plug and socket. Yep sure enough corrosion and one slightly loose connector.30 minutes later all cleaned, tightened and coated with Dielectric Grease. All back together, battery lead reconnected, ignition on, all working.
Rang a friend, fired it up and away for a Costa Coffee. Two hours later back home grinning from ear to ear
I love my Fazers
