Help: Suzuki V-Strom doesn't start
Hi,
I ride a Suzuki V-Strom 650 - year 2007.
I was riding on gravel road when my fron lights (Hi + Low beams) went off. I thought it was a fuse and kept riding. I arrived to my destination and checked-in in my hostel. When I went to check the light fuse, it was OK. I wanted to turn on the bike again, but nothing.
- Instrument panel is OK (initialise and light up)
- Turn signals, back light, brake light OK
- but NO front lights, NO starter (not a sound)
I checked all the fuses, checked all the connections that I could get my hands on without removing any fairing. All OK.
It's night, can't do much. I think I can start it in 2nd gear but will only try tomorrow. I will have to go to a city where there's a mechanic (I am in Trevelin, a village in central Patagonia heading south to Ushuaia). It must be a cable lose or cut, no?
If anyone can help, please reply or e-mail : samizmc (at) yahoo.com
I'll keep searching the net in the meantime until the morning
Thanks
Sami
