Hi everyone!
I want to first say thank you to everyone before me that provided so much information in swapping out a r/r. I registered to seek some wisdom from you fellow riders. Here's the scenario:
1. Bike was not holding a charge for more than an hour or two while riding.
2. Gauges would spaz and I'd sputter out and be dead in the water.
3. After doing many searches on these forums, consulting with many mechanics, all pointed to the R/R.
4. Ordered an aftermarket from Dennis Kirk for a 2001 SV650S, came with two plugs, five wires.
5. I fitted the new R/R cables in to the old plug so that it would match up with the cabling on the bike.
6. Before I was even able to latch the plug on to the bike, the plugs made contact and I saw a spark.
7. I confirmed that I crossed the wires while matching up the cables and replacing the plugs.
8. Bike shows no sign of life when I turn the key...
So I turn to everyone for help. I tested the battery and it gives me a normal reading. I checked all of the 10/15 fuses and all looked OK. I'm not sure if I blew the main fuse or how to even tell or where to look.
Any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED!
Thanks!
