No more electric start...or anything electric now that I think about it

[Benjithx]

I needed to do some testing on "Project Black" for the website, so a group of us went riding and everything was going well until my girlfriends 400ex stopped starting. She was doing some donuts, turned the bike off, and that was it. After that she had no nuetral light or any other electrics. We pull started her and ended the day early.

I am just looking for some ideas on where to start troubleshooting. I can't imagine it is a battery, because it happened in the middle of the ride and it never sat or anything.

Thanks guys

Did you check the fuse?

Also make sure all electrical connections are tight.

Simple stuff first...;)

sounds like a fuse...and maybe a bare wire...had this happen recently to my wife's 400ex also. trailered it side ways and the rear fender wore a wire.. it got wet and blew a fuse.

I broke the ground from the battery to the frame, off a huge jump, same symptoms.

same thing happened to me....twice.
first time, my battery all of the sudden stopped holding a charge. id hook it up to the charger and it worked, so i bought a new battery and it was good. same thing happened to me as dariusld then another time, id just hold them together and start it so i couold ride the rest of the day. that worked for the rest of the day.
