    Hey lads,

    Been having a run of bad luck today and I'm wondering if anyone can help me with something.

    I arrived home tonight, turned off the bike and parked it out the front as I went to open the back gate. When I turned on the ignition I heard a little click and quickly enough all power went from the bike - no headlight, no dash lights, nothing.

    I reckon its a fuse thats blown around the battery. I checked the little fuse box but they were all fine. There's a red 30A fuse cap that seems connected to the battery, and funnily enough I reckon there's a 30A fuse in there thats possibly my problem, but I cant get the cap off because it seems stuck.

    Could this blown fuse be the problem? I know thats kind of a stupid obvious question, but could it be anything else? I have the battery charging on one of those halford chargers so I can rule that out (its set up properly for a bike and not car) and will try it tomorrow.

    Its really annoying because I'd booked a pretest with david lyons for thursday morning just before leaving for home! Talk about timing...

    Sounds like a blown fuse. I doubt it's the battery as the lights would work but be very dim. Has the cap melted on the fuse box?

    did you check the main fuse.should be around 30 amps.usually its part of the starter relay.i wonder is the ignition barrel ok to.i know on me bandit.there is a click when i switch on.its a relay that switches on.its part of the safety circuit.side stand/gear.
