My motorcycle broke down on the side of the highway right outside Baton Rouge yesterday afternoon. Got it towed to Port Allen very early in the morning and was seeking someone with a truck to help me bring it back to NOLA… Need to get her back today before work tomorrow….
Hello all, having issues with my 2001 Yamaha R6.
The bike was working perfectly for the most part the past weekend. One of my smaller ground wires seemed to disconnect and turned off my gauges or gave false information. I secured it back to the main ground wire connecting to the battery terminal and no issue. (This was sunday).
I’m on my way back to work (monday) and the issue appears again after going over some pothole ridden roads. Speed and tach giving incorrect or no information.
I park my bike and come back out a few hours later to check up on it. Ignition on, displayed lights incorrectly still so I open the seat and redo the ground.
Suddenly, bike gets 0 power. Ignition to on position and lights and gauges do no display. Fan and fuel doesn’t make a sound either. Killswitch and start button also not functioning.
This is a new battery (bought battery sunday…) and no fuses have been blown.
