afwestpunk Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Has anyone had an issue starting their 7 after swapping out to LED's signals? Changed out the signals and now the bike will not start, the starter makes a loud grunting sound and ticks Took a look to make sure no fuses blew and they are all good. very confused right now and I need my 2 wheel therapy "It takes an idiot to do cool things; that's why it's cool" - FLCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlinhoss Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 That's odd. Did you check your battery charge? Just curious what LED signals are you using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unknown Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Did you remove your battery or disconnect it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MXRider Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 That is odd. Could you have inadvertently unplugged something in the process? Maybe go back and double check all of your connections and make sure they are solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afwestpunk Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 going to pull it apart in the morning to recheck everything. I think it may be one set of lights that are on the bike not jellying "It takes an idiot to do cool things; that's why it's cool" - FLCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted August 16, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted August 16, 2014 Sounds more like a dead battery to me (or a bad connection at the battery). The signals themselves would not draw much, but some bad ground or connection would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryv Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 That sucks, rule out the obvious, check the battery with a volt meter. Maybe a bad connection is bleeding the battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afwestpunk Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Grounding is what my thought is as PW Guru mentioned Going to look in a few hours "It takes an idiot to do cool things; that's why it's cool" - FLCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afwestpunk Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 had the battery on the charger for a few hours Hooked it up and after a small delay it started up with out the lighting connected. Going to put the bike back together and try it out again "It takes an idiot to do cool things; that's why it's cool" - FLCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afwestpunk Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Back together and the charge was exactly what the bike needed thanks all "It takes an idiot to do cool things; that's why it's cool" - FLCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassecou Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 If the battery went fully dead, it my not pass winter and the cold temperatures. At first sign of the battery being weak again, don't hesitate to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted August 17, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2014 Have you figured out what caused the battery to go dead? Did it short? Like cassecou said,if it did, your battery might not have survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afwestpunk Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Battery survived was just weak checked it again this morning jic and no problem. still going to get another battery for backup when i continue with experiments "It takes an idiot to do cool things; that's why it's cool" - FLCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
