okay, i had a short at my starter relay. the 30amp main fuse didn't do its job and about half of the relay melted. i got another relay (used) and put it all back together. no lights, no power, not even my little digital clock.

any ideas?

hey i had something like that happen to me, i would check all fuses, and then test come of your key components, cdi boxes, voltage reg, look for burnt wires on the harness, let me know what it was when u fix it, im still trying to fix my bike, i have different problems but i have changed most of my electrical system allready good luck, check my post about the interceptor elctrical probelms

i ran a jumper wire over the relay and my starter started turning...so, i assume that it's only the relay...not the icm (at least i hope and pray). i ordered a new one of ebay. i'll keep you posted.
