Bike Stolen/Recovered

Hi,

I know this is a long shot especially with all this "Black Capping" stuff going on but I need some help. I've recently had my bike stolen/recovered and the locks have been pulled so as you can guess i'd like to know how/if I can hotwire my bike. I've got it booked in at a garage to get a new lock barrel but its a fair trek, so if possible i'd like to try and ride it there. I've tried every combination under the sun but i've had no luck. Think they might have blown the main fuse. Theres black, red, black & white, green and I think another cable.

Thanks,

Shaun.

ps I don't mean to sound rude but if no one is going to tell me just say I don't need a lecture about it, I know it's a long shot.

Just to add my bike is a NSR125RK not a NS if that makes any difference.

Firstly check the main fuse then. Idea

Someone may be able to help you with this I suspect, or if you've got breakdown cover call them and they'll help you, or call the local garage and explain the problems and they'll be able to do something to help. Thumbs Up

Hi

I would be tempted to say that your best course of action would be to get the new ignition switch and connect that up. Just tape it securely somewhere while you ride to the dealers.

And definatly check the fuses.

All the best

Hi,

Thanks for the help, I'll go check the fuse tonight. I was thinking it might have been possible just to reconnect the wires to the existing ignition switch as this has not been damaged to any real extent. Does anyone know where I could get a diagram of the wiring for the ignition.

Thanks,

Shuan.

Hi,

I've just rang the garage and he has told me how to get it started. I've checked the main fuse and it has blown. Just a quick question to see if it would be ok to try and see if I can get the bike started by shorting the fuse. I will get a replacement shortly but just wondering if it would cause any damage.

Thanks,

Shaun.

go and buy some fuses, if the twats have chopped the loom there may be live supplies shorting that you don`t know about. If you bypass the fuse you will damage the loom at best. Keep some spare fuses on the bike and in your jacket.

Hi,

I got some fuses last night, but I am still having problems starting the bike. All the electrics work but it just doesn't seem to want to start. Does the ground wire need to be connected anywhere? and can anyone think what else could be wrong? I haven't been able to check the spark plug yet as this is going to be a pain of a job as the previous owner thought it would be a bright idea to pop rivet the fairings together.

Thanks,

Shaun.
