Disconnecting battery
I've disconnected my battery on my new RT1250 to fit some accessories. Connected everything back up but the bike won't start. What could it be?

Re: Disconnecting battery
Have you checked everything?
Is it in neutral etc
Disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it should stop it starting.
Check your connections too

Re: Disconnecting battery
That suggests to me that the battery is not connected properly somewhere or the main fuse is popped
Pull the battery and check the polarity and also check the main fuse

Re: Disconnecting battery
Hi, can someone tell me where the main fuse is? I've looked online at the fuse box and can't see a "main fuse" listed. Thanks Pete
