Title: 1985 k100 won't start...
Post by: Beezer on May 25, 2015, 01:24:20 PM
Basically I took my bike apart a few weeks ago to re paint the frame and fairings and now she just won't do much of anything... I have a feeling that it is a simple fix but I have checked and double checked everything. When I turn the key on I get absolutely nothing, no lights or anything occasionally I will flick it on and be able to get the light to come on after turning it on and off and flicking the kill switch but still absolutely nothing from the starter when I hit the button. I recently disconnected the ground connections off of the frame ground and grounded them out one by one, I got the gauges to light up but then when I tried the last connections(containing 3 wires) I got a spark and lost it all again. :musicboohoo: I just don't know if one of them could be connected to a safety feature or what, anything would help...

Painted frame, check ground wires.

I have cleaned the paint off of the frame where the grounds connect and they are all solid connections, and the battery is reading a strong 12 volts, the lights are strong when they light up...

Just spent a few more hours on it and as I figured something simple and obvious... my key switch had gotten crossed and burnt up. Thanks for the help regardless. :2thumbup:
