Hi Im new here but freaking out a bit.

I ride everyday and the other day i turned my key and nothing came on. Including headlight, gas pump, any console lights and it woulnt start.

I think it is the ignition but I dont know how to be sure. I am not really mechanically inclined but hoping I can do it.

I have looked at the service guide but I am hoping someone can be a little more specific about what the issue is.

Oh yeah i dont even have an R6 i have 600r 2003 but i think they are very similar as far as starter and stuff go.

maybe the battery is dead try to jump start it or if you have a charger charge it for a bit...and if that dont work check the batt connections and make sure the terminals are clean with no corrosion an reconnect the batt cables

hey thanks for the reply, but I tested the bat with a volt meter and it is fine. Its also pretty new.

hmm did u try wiggleing? (sp?) the key see if u get anything to turn on. Sounds like something other than ignition to me. Check your main fuses i would check the battery too again with a battery tester just because the voltage is up doesnt mean the amperage is.

Well you say "the other day"does that mean you dot it started?If so what did you do to get it started and if you did..then there is prob a short some where..I would check all the wires for cracks or cuts or just being loose.
