Yes, the ignition switch and pad were firmly attached to the bike when I attempted to reattach the negative terminal to the battery.

If it was still "dangling", the switch contact for the battery positive cable might have shorted to ground on the fork or frame. A short like that in an unfused wire would be likely to start a fire.

The Motobrick Workshop / Re: Euromotoelectrics - Fuel level float sender - Fixed
« Last post by Edward on October 14, 2026, 09:17:37 PM »This is an inspirational post, @Jethroww and @Laitch!
It seems my fuel sender arm works fine based on the method below. How about that?! I’ve been using the odometer for such a long time.
"The first thing to try is to remove the fuel cap assembly, reach in there to raise the float arm to its highest point of travel without stressing it, then lowering it. Do that a few times with the ignition switch turned to On and see if you get some action from the fuel light."
