I have a 00 naked. Just finished doing a fork swap and am getting ready to connect a new speedo but there is no power. I checked the main fuse and the fuse was done so i replaced it still with no luck!! The battery is fully charged and the two wires going to the fuse box have current. But nothing past the main fuse box. Do i need to replace the fuse box itself? Can someone please help:'(

Just a guess, but you probably shorted a wire somewhere in the front end when you did the swap. Check your work.

how would i know if i did?

Disconnect all connectors.

Hook each one up, by itself, and see if the bike works. If you plug in one that kills it, you've found the bundle that has the short. Then start looking for nicked/damaged wires in that bundle.

Try pulling on the square 3 wire plug that connects to the main fuse block. Turn the ignition on so you can tell that you have a good connection when the lights come on. Do not disconnect the plug though.

I just spent about 8 hours over 2 days tracking down my funky main fuse block bad connection. If I pushed my connector down as far as it would go, no power. I pulled on the plug and got lights. I don't know if the problem is really the socket or the plug, but when it works, it keeps on working. I only seem to have a hard time with it after I completely unplug the connector.
