There is a 30 amp. fuse under the cover attached to the big relay just forward of your battery. Check it and you main fusable link too. Good hunting

Bad ground. Any time i have lost all power, on anything, all of a sudden it has been a bad ground. Even though the battery appears good, have you hooked it up to a set of jumper cables to another vehicle?

the neutral switch should only stop the bike from starting not to cause you to loose all power haveyou a volt meter

Yeah check for good ground, volt meter shows 12.8 at the battery. the top 15a fuse has no power to it whether key on or off. I think i can fix it with a gallon of gas, a match and an open field. hehe

I JUST WENT THRU THE SAME PROBLEM WIT MY GL1200 AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE

Solenoid AND THE DOG BONE FUSE. I HAD LOST POWER TO EVERYTHING. I REPLACED THE Solenoid AND NOW THE BIKE STARTS AND I HAVE POWER TO ALL MY LIGHTS AND INSTRUTMENT PANEL. GOOD LUCK. I FOUND A USE Solenoid ON E-AY FOR UNDER 10.00 DOLLARS.

There was a recent thread on this same thing, I can't find it though. The connections at the solenoid in front of the battery were burned up.

It may be this one DaveO430 is speaking about.

I read through all the threads on ignition problems triing to relate. I just cant test the fused solnoid, the dogbone and fuse are good. have taken both off line and will take to a local bike shop for testing.

Bike was running so good and I took the week off to go to wing ding 3 hrs away and all of a sudden all this stuff, makes me miss my 900 custom.

hi larry have you checked the 30amp fuse in the starter relay

Guess what ladies and gentleman (I apologise if that offends anyone) while I was at the shop another ole GW'er customer suggested I replace all the spade fuses for Sh**s and grins as they might test good but are to weak to carry the current, so I did and she is running fine (for now). Again we learn a valuable lesson on preventative maintenance.

Thanks all, you all rock!!!

I replaced each fuse and tried starting after each, it was the top fuse in the fuse panel on the left side that made it come alive again.

i had a problem with the wiring on mine, the fuse block was melted so i had to take it off and re wire the back of it. actualy cut the burnt wires and replaced them and by passed the block. worked fine.
