Hi Guys,
I am at a bit of a loss.
I was away Friday to Saturday last week on a Stena Bikes Onboard event. The Friday night and Saturday morning were wet, really wet. I got up Saturday morning and tried to start the FZS1000, it was not keen but a little choke and we were away. I boarded the ferry and we arrived in NI, I stopped after disembark to fix gloves and get Sat Nav set up turned on my lights and the dash went off. It restarted and the check lights came on thought it was weird and trued to repeat and it did it again. The bike was still running. We set off and all looked fine, i had to hit the pass light (High Beam flash) and the dash went blank again with check lights, this was only 10 mins after leaving the ferry. We had been riding around 30 mins and i tried the pass light again, nothing happened, so all was good for the rest of the day.
After a really wet trip the bike was put away in the garage and never thought about again until Monday for a wash. I started washing the bike (no pressure washer, just garden hose), gave it a good clean and all was good. I started the bike and it was running for a minute and i thought i would check the pass light to see all was ok. Well this time dash went off and bike cut out, there is now no lights on the dash.
When you turn the ignition there is nothing no lights, no priming of the fuel pump absolutely Zero.
I have checked and Battery is charged and holding 12.76 volts. The main fuse is OK (tested with multimeter), the fuses in the box for lights and that look ok (not tested individually only visual inspection). The earthing has been checked and looks ok.
Can anyone hold my hand through some other checks to determine where the problem lies? I am thinking ignition problem but have no idea how to check this. I have sprayed every connector block with WD40 to try and drive out moisture but still nothing.
My electrical knowledge is not great but i have a meter and if told were to check i will.
Cheers

If your fault turns out to be the termination block(s), a good replacement would be Anderson Powerpoles, the 30 amp rated ones are more than adequate. They can be bought from Torberrys in Hants.Best of luck.

Will I know it's the block from visual inspection?
-
Usually yes, as they start melting. That goes for the white block under the tank and the white block behind the left hand frame infil as well. I'm in the process of changing all mine as a precaution.

Are those the red blocks?
-
Yep, although they come in several other colours.

I mean is it the red blocks your replacing Robbo? One has only two wires, the other has 6 are you replacing them all?
-
Yep, replacing them all. Sorry I'm. easily confused :lol .

In the link above, there is the culprit and another red block with 5 connectors, will there not be a lack of space to connect 5 wires via powerpoles? The other block looks like smaller wires too so maybe doesn't need changed?
-
This mod was suggested to me to eliminate a very intermittent fault on my bike, as the powerpole rating far exceeds anything the bike can generate. I haven't had the time to fit them, which will be a precautionary measure rather than a cure for me, but as you no doubt know, they can be clipped together in any suitable shape to suit the space available. I must get in the garage and get this done. Too busy riding it, that's the problem :lol .

I only changed the two pin block, and haven’t had any more problems.
