Bike: 2001 Suzuki Bandit 1200s.
I rode it around today, NO problems, worked it through all the gears most of the afternoon on a ride, everything worked perfect. Bike has NEVER given me electrical/mechanical issues, not once.
Problem: I decided to remove and clean all my fairings this afternoon. All fairings taken off. Fuel tank taken off. Cleaned everything, everything put back on. Attached Left turn signal, worked/blinked fine. When I went to attach the Right turn signal back on, I pushed the quick-release electronic fastener into the female half (connected to the bike), and I heard a fizzing sound, like "zzzzz-it." I turned the bike key to "ON", and all that came on was the main headlight. No tail-light, no clock, nothing. My entire electronic display, including odometer, fuel gauge, neutral, turn signals, ALL did not come on. When I usually turn the key to ON, the needles on the dials sweep across then come back to rest at 0 for speedo and 0 for tach. Neither swept after this "fizzing" sound. My bike started, but I shut it off quickly bc i realized I was in trouble.
I pushed it into garage, looked over everything one last time, and turned key to "ON." No headlight, nothing. Battery is no longer supplying power.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BIKE?!?!?!
Did i fry the wiring harness somehow? Did i short something? How can this be fixed?
ANY AND ALL ADVICE IS WANTED. If more information is needed, I can post up. I can also supply photos if anything here is unclear.
This is making me pretty depressed, as I have NO electrical or mechanical knowledge and I am fearing the worst, obviously. But i don't even know what that entails....
thanks all
