Newbie needs help: my bike's not getting any power
Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2018 10:41 pm
2001 Suzuki Savage 650. Battery is less than 2 months old.
I am pretty certain that I didn't leave the lights on or anything like that, but now it just won't get any power (no horn or headlights or anything). I rode the bike for about an hour this morning, and went to take it for a spin again in the evening. I sat on the bike and it had power. The headlight and neutral light were on. I hit the ignition button and it started to turn over then the whole thing died. Any ideas how I should start troubleshooting this?
Might be unrelated, but this thing has a Supertrapp exhaust. It was just the pipe with no baffles, but it was loud as hell, so I bought the baffles and core assembly from Supertrapp and installed it this morning. As I said, it rode fine for a few hours, I was actually really happy with the performance.
Any thoughts on what this might be?
Thanks for your time!
