Dear Santa

Im need help !!!! my bike turned over when i bought it that was a plus but all the sudden its like the on off switch went bad i dont know much about wires so even lookin at all the diagrams i have found on line just got me more confused . im located in alton il and would greatly appreciate any help.

Several things to check:

1.Fully charged battery.

2.Clean and tight battery connections especially the Black Negative(-) ground connection to the engine.

3.Inspect and if possible the check the glass tubed fuses with a self powered test light or a multimeter with the fuse out of the clips. as they can fail but still look good.The metal ends and the fuse element must be intact(if the ends twist or come off, the fuse is bad).

This may be of help:

Fuse And Fuse Holder Designations

1. The older Kawasaki’s use a glass tubed fuse with the designation of AGX 1” long. Most good auto parts stores can get them for you. They are ¼” in diameter.

2. The more common AGC is 1 ¼” long and may not fit the smaller fuse clips. Again, ¼” in diameter.

3. To clean and polish the fuse clips, I use a cotton swab(Q- Tip) and some Brasso metal cleaner or Turtle Wax Chrome Polish. I suppose any good metal polish would work.

4. These fuses can fail internally but look good, only by removing them from the clip and electrically continuity checking with either a self powered test light, or a multimeter set on OHMS can they be determined to be in good shape.

5. A physical inspection of the metal end caps for tightness will tell you if the fuse is serviceable.

6. Most modern motorcycles are now using the automobile “Blade” style fuse with the designation of ATC or ATO.

7. The reduced sized “Mini” Blade style fuse holder uses the ATM size of fuses.

8. If the fuse and fuse holder overheat, it could soften or anneal the grip of the clip, it might require squeezing the clip to restore the tightness.

9. A list of where to purchase “Blade” style fuses and holders:

Just some places to look before throwing $$$$ at the bike.

Does the bike have a neutral, clutch or side stand switch?
