Dead electrics

[Bixxer Bob]

Went for ride yesterday, but - because I'd done a fair bit of work with the ignition on but motor not running, and being unable to turn the lights off - I put her on charge overnight first.

Started her up, all good, rode about 20 miles into town.  Stopped for a coffee at one of my favourite bike shops; re-mounted, turned the ignition key, nothing!!  :shock: Everything dead.   :shock:  :shock: Also noticed a sort of burning smell.  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  Turned the key off and on again,  lights come on :P  :P  :P  but when I pressed the starter there was a click and everything went dead again.    Brain is already leaping to conclusions:  :roll:  trapped wire , fried electrics, blown main fuse (no it couldn't be that, she lit up momentarily). Anyway,  took the seat off and all was revealed - some numpty (that'll be me then.. ) forgot to tighten up the positive battery terminal.  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

 Quick tweek with a screwdriver and all was well.   :lol:

By the way, the burning smell turned out to be the oil coating on the new can - no more than a distraction....  :lol:

[Cos]

Felt like a right plonker, didn't ya?  :lol:
