Earlier today i tried starting my bike which is a 2006 sv650s, and the lights wont even go on nothin.At first i thought it was the
battery but had it checked out and its fully charged.I did try to put a new license plate light so did i possibly short something out i dont htink so because its a small light or did i knock a wire loose.Can some one help me with this one.

You've popped a fuse. Buy a few more. If you've ragged the wiring somewhere you might blow a few before you fix it. Check connectors, bare wires etc. Always check easy, cheap stuff first before you start pulling it all to bits and throwing money at it.

I think the first thing I would do is check your connections. Start with the battery, it the battery is fully charge (and you can't rely on a charger, you need to have a specific gravity checker. If your battery is good and cables are connected, next work yourself down the wires till you get to a square thing, called the voltage regulator. Just check to make sure the wires are good and tight. Finally, check the ignition coil to make sure it's nice and tight. If all this checks out then it should start right up. If it doesn't, then as the old boys say, "it isn't electrical, it's gas!" Only two things will keep your bike from starting: either it's not electrically hooked up correctly, or the carburator isn't getting gas to your pistons. From our question however it sounds like it's electrical. Good luck to you!

There could be a main fuse, likely just off the main positive battery cable. Some bikes use fuseable link wires that can literally burn apart when overloaded. If the battery is known to be good but nothing works at all, it's a fuse or a battery cable. The only other thing I could think might be the key switch, some electrical systems on bikes have everything going through the switch.

I went to the owners manual when mine had the same problem shortly after purchase. I learned it won't start when the kick stand is down (laughter). Anyway several months ago I had new kickstand welded on and shortly after that
in a rainstorm the engine wouldn't start. My mechanic said
the weld damaged the kickstand electrical sensor; it was easily repaired.

Try checking your earth connection, also battery terminals.. try loosening, cleaning and tightening again. Also, if somethings bin fiddled with before the prob started, maybe that could be yer prob. IMOE, this kind of problem is rarely anything serious, usually just bad connection. Good Luck!!!!

fuse needs replacing. If it is an LED tailight you might need a voltage regulator for the rrest of the lighting system. Ask your parts guy i'm sure they'll sell you one.

Where did all this crap come from, all of a sudden?
Sorry, John. Check your fuse panel first. If that's not it, E-mail me and I'll go through it with you.

most bikes have a system fuse in line with the battery near the battery
