Cycled key a few times and they came on. Hit starter and bike started but immediately killed. No lights, no fuel pump.Gauges came on per usual. I put a charger on for some time and tried again. It did the same thing, sometimes lights and pump. others not. If it started it killed right away. After a longer charge, and trying another key, I was able to get a short ride out of it. Then same thing. I put a new battery in, charged it. It started and ran on 2nd try. Now, 3 days later, I am back to no lights or pump, gauges come on, no starter. After many tries I get lights, fuel pump, etc. But it still fires up then dies. Any thoughts??   Froggy Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 01:22 pm:        Yep most likely the key switch. You can take it apart (with some effort) and clean out the contacts.   Froggy Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 01:31 pm:        Also, be sure to check the relays under the seat, if the ignition relay is bad it can give you similar symptoms.   75aztec Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 02:22 pm:        Thanks Froggy, The key does feel a bit "loose" so I may start there.
