I was in my drive way moving the bike when she wouldn't start right away then on the third push she fired up.. Thought it was due to the cold weather and not gasing it.. Then poof.. Lots of smoke from the left side!!! Shut her down and jump off like a man on fire. (I have a super slow leak from the tank on the left side. new tank at painters as we speak)
After some looking I find the side stand kill switches black wire from the main wire loom to the connector down low is bare wire now. WOW.. WTF..
I take off the bat and have to cut into the shielding on the main wire harness to follow the black wire (what's left of it) to it's starting point where it comes off a juncture of 3 wires.. The blue/black wire has a few burns in it as well from the light off.. I tired some new wire down to the plug but that got hot fast from the start up and so did the wire down to the side stand switch.
I'm thinking the switch is gone as I can connect the NEW blue/black and black wire directly together and she starts up no prob and the new wires do not get hot. However now I am worried that it's just 2 wires together and not three like the switch has below..
So what probs will I see if I just keep the two wires connected? The side stand kill switch connectors are no longer in the loop at all..
Just the top 2 wires....
Thoughts?
