Another electrical problem-No running lights

[wilcoy02]

I Took a ride yesterday and noticed I had no running lights-front or back.
I do have turn signals both F&B. I do have break lights.
The running lights and license light is not on.
Now what do I look for?
I volt metered the fuses in the bike and they are all good.

Hard for me to see on here but it sounds like they share the same feed. Possibly from the start solenoid (aka relay)?

I had that happen to me once(actually, it happened intermittently for several weeks), and it was the ignition switch contacts. From the wiring diagram, it looks like they are fed thru a fuse, thru the ignition switch. See if the fuse is hot on both ends with the key ON. If there is no power to the fuse on either end, then the next thing would be the ignition switch. Power on one end only of the fuse would mean the fuse is bad. :good:

Thank You for the info.

I said screw it I am going for a ride. After I put the false tank back on-- presto I had all my lights again. May be Aapple is right.
