[QUOTE="James, post: 934737, member: 91"] Well, was planning to run tests today, as I'm off work, but yesterday went to start the bike & nothing. As a back story, my ignition switch went out late in the fall & I by-passed it, figuring I'd replace it in the spring when it warmed up (yes, there's a plan). And a month ago, I had my local dealer adjust my valves & replace the cam chain. Then yesterday, lights come on (no neutral), hear the fuel pump, but when I hit the starter button, nothing. Checked my jumper on the clutch switch, it was still good. So. Drive to work, & today run the above tests and get 0 ohms in neutral or 1st, key off, and 12 volts w/key on in neutral or first. I had lifted the tank & removed the smaller side covers & looked for pinched wires, ect., thinking it could have happened when the dealer was in there. They had left the nut off the bolt the tank pivots on off, but nothing seemed out of place. Basically wiggled some wires while testing and that's it. Thought, lets try the start button and of course it starts. Makes me think a wires rubbed off it's insulation somewhere, but I can't see where. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
