01' Magna is dead....Kinda

[BillyBob69]

I have, as I am sure you can see by now, a 2001 750 Magna. Yesterday I rode it to work, then from there to a gas station and then about 30 miles to school. All the way there...no prob. When I went to leave school, I turned the key on and then presed the start....nothing. No click no nothing. Then I noticed no headlight either. I tried to jump it but even with a solid 12V hooked to it, still no head light. So I decided to do the ol', "pop the clutch". Well on the second try, it started. So I had to haul ass home cause at this point is was 7pm and the sun was about down. Still no headlight. I got home and shut her off...then tried again. Still the same. Electrical power to everything but the headlight and no start. Any ideas guys?

yea..buy a battery

[BillyBob69]

Battery is new. And connections to it are good. Next item?

Headlight still was not on and still no start with the battery hooked up or even after I replaced it.

try checking fuses yet?

You check your voltage regulator? Do a charging system test.

I'd check fuses. Sounds like the same story as a friend of mine had recently.

Check the main fuse, and check the kill switch.
