2009 660 no electrical response when key turned on

[limestonecowboy]

Hi All,

I tried to ride my Ten yesterday afternoon after a morning jaunt to the cafe with no luck. Morning ride was fine, but when I went to start the bike in the afternoon, the instrument panel was dead and the bike wouldn't start.

The battery is new, the only electrical add-on is a hard-wired GPS and heated grips, connected to the battery through a Heath-tec Thunderbox (https://www.healtech-electronics.com/products/tb). Until now, no issues.

When I turn the key, there is no response from the bike - no lights, no turnover, nothing. Any hints as to what the issue may be or where to start looking? I'm very bad with electronics, but good at research and following directions!

Thanks in advance!

Iirc they used to suffer with harness issues around the headstock, has it got a main fuse?

Great suggestion! After a quick google search, it looks like you're on the money. I'll have a look at the fuse tonight, then look at the wiring for any obvious damage and go from there!

Cheers mate

all - it was a super dead battery, that was it.

Thought it was a new battery? Did it drain with the add ons?
