Any help for a 2012 CBR250 that won't start or bump start
⚠️ What happened
- You were on your way home from work.
- You were stopped at a traffic light.
- When you tried to get going, the bike suddenly shut off.
- You described it as shutting off “as if I turned it off.”
- Afterward, you tried turning the key on and off.
- The lights remained/continued to come on.
🔑 Ignition/key behaviour
- When you played/wiggled the key in the ignition, the lights would come on.
- This means the position/movement of the key appears to affect the electrical system.
🔋 Starting behaviour
- The bike doesn't start.
- When you press the starter button, the electrical system just dies, similar to a battery having no juice.
- You subsequently clarified that the bike also doesn't bump-start.
- A different battery has already been tried.
🔧 Other information
- The stator and rectifier are already new, so you don't want to blindly replace those again.
