03 speed triple no start

[gasgas]

I just picked up an 03 speed triple and was not running at purchase. All lights, turn signals and brake light work and new battery installed and all fuses were checked. With key on I get nothing from starter not even a click and odometer will not light up. anyone have a clue. thanks

OK,So I dont know the layout on the triples so excuse me if I'm of base, but, I am presuming there will be a relay between the starter swtch and the starter. If this is shot,it will not crank.
As for speedo light,It could be related or it could be a seperate issue such as connections or a bulb.
You can by pass the starter relay with a jab from a jumper cable to pin point the problem.Just locate the big + terminal at the starter motor and touch it with 12 volts.

EDIT : Thinking on this,before you look anywhere else,check the KILL switch.
I never use it so tend to forget about it untill someone else has fiddled with my bike.

devo thanks for the reply. I checked all the relays and jumpered the starter solinoid, the bike cranked but would not fire up. The fuel pump is not getting power either and my neutral light won't come on. I need a wire diagram to see what wires feed everything

Did you catch my edit re the kill switch.?

The fact that the neutral light doesn't come on may be key.

Perhaps the bike thinks it's in gear and requires the clutch to be pulled-in?

In the starter circuit there is a clutch switch, a kill switch, and a side stand switch. If the side stand is down, you can't start the bike.

Try starting it with the stand up, the kill switch set to run, and the clutch lever pulled in.

Yep, it was the first thing I checked. I found two plugs hanging under the gas tank and I think one two wire plug goe's to the ECU and the other is for the fan but with out a wire diagram I am not positive, I guess I'll have to wait till I get the manual to make sure. thanks

I tried that also,but it seems like no power to ECU

sounds like electrical

check the harness for obvious damage.

Well I found the problem. I disconnected the battery to pull the solenoid out and left it disconnected over night, the next day i hooked up the battery and turned on the key and BAM I had all the electronics working, put up the kick stand, pulled in the clutch and it started right up, took it for a short ride and is working perfectly. Thanks for all your help. I guess the computer had to reset, the only thing I noticed was that the speedometer was showing only first digit numbers like 1 at 10mph and 2 for 20 mph but I can live with that.

Great stuff,must admit,I never would have thought of it.

Thanks for reporting back. I guess the reset did it. I would not have thought of that either.

wierd, glad it's sorted though.
