What’s up guys? I’ve been a forum member for a short time now. Just been lurking and gathering info, but this is my first real post and I’m having a problem with my Duc that I'm hoping someone can help me with?
Short Version: Put the key in the ignition and turn, no lights. Flick the switch to “Run” and the fuel pump doesn’t prime. Replaced the battery, checked the fuses and still nothing.
The Full Story: I’m a new Duc owner of a few months now. The 748 has been running strong the entire time. No problems what so ever. I gave her a bath last weekend and got her all nice and shiny. While at it I decided to correct a few things. When I bought the bike it had a K&N oil breather filter on it. It was fairly dirty and I broke it when I removed it, so I decided to replace it with the stock overflow bottle along with the air box. The air box had a few cracks, some major and it was just easier to replace the entire box than try to fix the cracks. So I took off the tail section, gas tank and the air box. Unfortunately for me the air box that I bought was for a 996R/998 and didn’t fit my 748 (that's another story). So I reinstalled everything along with the stock oil breather overflow bottle that I picked up. Put the key in the ignition, turn and nothing!? No Headlights, no instrument panel lights, nothing! Flicked the switch to “Run” expecting the fuel pump to prime….nothing! So I removed the right side fairing and started checking fuses. All are good. I already had a second battery on the charger so I replaced the battery and still nothing. What am I missing? What could I have accidentally disconnect?
