Bike tipped over in my parking lot, now dead, stranded.

2001 Tiger 955I

I was just leaving my parking space, stalled it, the bike tipped over on it's left not moving forward.
Bike stopped.
I picket it up.
And now it's dead dead. No lights, no clicks, nothing, just dead.
Checked the fuses, all clear.
Checked the relays, nothing seemed loose.
Checked wiring, can't see anything loose.
Checked key/ignition switch wires, nothing seemed to get pulled or moved.

Is there something obvious I'm missing or should I just call a tow truck...
fuck...

Tip over switch need resetting? I don'tknow how though... Someone will be along soon who does, or lookin the handbook or manual.

battery?
ignition switch?

[rex007can]

Battery is connected. Ign switch looks fine but without tools it's not testable. Tilt switch would not cut the lights off

Im thinking relay under the fairing. But without tools...

[motoOzarks]

shake around on the terminals and twist around on the ignition switch

it just started fine so you should have power

on/off switch ?

I know it's three hours too late but...

Have someone jump you with their car. Almost all Canadians have jumper cables. I have used my car to jump start my bike before. If you can't find someone to jump your bike, take your battery out and carry it to any garage or car parts store. They should be able to check the battery. You could have broken a cell inside the battery

If the battery is okay. Tap on the roll over relay with a screw driver handle or knife handle.

If the above doesn't work... I would try and switch all of your 4 prong relays with each other.

I will apologize in advance if none of these work. I am sorry you got stranded.

Is it one of those fancy batteries?

[JoeDirt]

This is a dangerous suggestion. Red Neck tow truck. Get a rope and have friend pull you in "neutral". You'll need your clutch hand to hold the rope. That way you can let go if needed. Brakes are hydraulic and work whether it's running or not.

Make sure your friend pulling doesn't go too fast. Especially, around corners.

I would like to apologize in advance if you die from this suggestion.

Bettery is standard and looks fine. Its not like I dropped it going 40, it basically fell down while stopped with the engine stalled.

I'm really tjinking either wire pulled  loose in the key ignition switch from the handle bars rudely forced all the way,  or loose relay connection from the shock.

If i turn the key and literally nothing happens,  i doubt towing it 25mph and dropping the clutch will do anything.

Anyhow,  a bike tow truck will pick it up tomorrow and bring it home.  I took the bus and subway.
I'll post whatever I find this weekend.

[motoOzarks]

Did you try dropping it on the right side ?

[Bixxer Bob]

You mentioned that the bars had been forced all the way....  simply pulled a loom plug / socket apart???

[rex007can]

Yeah,  that was my first thought too.
Took out the fairing and the key switch.  All good.
Finally took out the battery,  fuse in the socket clipped to the battery box was blown.
Finally!
Replaced it,  turned the key...  Power.

So,  now I got the engine running,  but...

The bike has an HID kit installed, and now the lights wont come on.
For you hid gurus, the h4 light socket is powered on,  if I connect an H4 bulb it turns on.
The HID kit is made up of one control box connected to the power (h4 socket),  going out to 2 high voltage converters, each connected to "mistery"  box,  connected to the bulbs.

So.  Control box works (relay clicking),  small auxiliary bulbs turn on.
No high pitch whine from the high voltage boxes,  no light.

Did the high voltage boxes blow,  causing a surge the blew the fuse on the battery box?

[motoOzarks]

somethin moved somewhere

what fuse does the one blown protect?

[rex007can]

I think its the main power fuse.

[motoOzarks]

I'da looked there first

Does it look blown "all at once"?

or is stuff hot melty looking?
