Hello everyone. I tried to get the bike started after it had been sitting a while and I think I blew a fuse when trying to charge battery. However, I have taken the tank off and changed the main fuse. Is there another main fuse or something that could be blown or shorted? The ECU fuse is fine by the way.

The main fuse sits between the battery and a removable panel on the back side of the frame. Is that the one you changed?

I replace the one under the tank on the back side of the frame. Here is a photo from the manual.

Look for two fuse boxes at the back under the seat.

Hey Hub I found those two fuse boxes. However, I do not see any blown fuses in those boxes. Which fuse am I looking for in those boxes all I see is 10A and 15A fuses located there.

I'm looking for the ECU fuse. If say you have a test light with a pointed probe, you can turn the key on, see if the fuse box is hot on the one side. We now need that probe with light in handle so we can start stabbing junctions from the hot side of the battery (+) side, out to that main fuse behind the tank, back to the rear of the bike again at the top 3 relays that are sitting on top of the ECU. It might be a pain to get to, so the only way is to remove the tool box. Hopefully, you'll have found it before then.

The ECU fuse is in one of the two boxes. I checked it also and it seems to be good. I still get no lights or power to the bike at this point.

We want to make these steps up to the piggyback relay box or those 3 relay connectors at the top of the ECU. That is a 3 way relay. So you want to see power to the one relay is either red or white being the hot side is why you want that needle probe.

Behind the connector are those rubber weather-pac inserts. You stab the needle from behind into those rain protectors. This way we have to walk our power lines from battery to starter main fuse to keep reading the red or white colors for hot are the wires and a thicker gauge wire too.

So, we want hot-hot-hot into 3 relays in that big ECU rubber boot way in the back. Then, we want to see if we have power to the ECU? Pg. 16-108. Middle plug... Probe 6 or 5. This is main relay, right? Get it? We walked:

1. Battery post integrity
2. Hot out of battery to relay.
3. Needle probe is stab the fuse on the one end, stab the fuse on the other end so there is no doubt even if the fuse looks good... Got it?
4. Main relay probe, but we skipped the fuse boxes and cross stabbing those just to make sure the female ends have contact, we be killing two birds with the fuse and female prongs making good contact.
5. Understand we leave the power plant and lay line out of the building? Up to the power lines, down to a sub station, out to some house/factory/ect., your fuse box outside the house, your wall socket with an A/C meter checking current.

Answer this so we go out and start buying parts or start sniffing.

When I jumped stated the bike off a car, I:

1. just used the car's battery and nothing else.
2. told the person to rev the car's engine while I tried to jump start the bike off the car.
3. just let the car idle and then jumped the bike off the running car.

Pick.

I was having that phantom wont start as well narrowed it down to 2007 fuel pump I just jumppered it and nothing after checking everthing the funny thing is this bike has only had 16 to 20 tanks through it go figure...
