My XB9R will start and no signs of life

[benjamin55404]

On 9/11 i downed my back. After the accident I was able to start it up. Took it to Buell and they only did an estimate. I have my bike back now and I cannot get even a light on. The indicators will not come on. The fuse box was part of the area hit during the accident but the box is still connected. There are three leads that are not connected. I just do not know what to do. HELP!!!

Well first off does the battery have power?
2nd finding out where those wires go will prob work wonders. Pics would help us help you.

just uploaded some pics. Side note just jump my bike like I would a car? I know I sound like a novice, this is my first bike. Thanks for your help. I am going to jump the bike now.

I am encouraged. I have connected my bike to my car and the horn works and the brake light comes on. it will still not turn over and I think that is due to the disconnected leads that appear in the photos. Any idea on how to reattach them to the main fuse box?

Damn that sucks..good luck with the fix. I know when I went down a few months back I think I was more pissed about screwing up my bike than I was worried about myself haha.

I couldn't have said it better. I need to get back on the road before snowfall. PLEASE HELP. I'm addicted to this sport. My bike is truly my best friend.

I have finally rebuilt my sweetheart. I will upload pics momentarily, she got a complete face lift. Now I have run into a serious problem and that is that now my front brakes lock up infrequently and it results in a small tumple the other day on the road. Any ideas as to where I should start my investigation? Should I just bleed the line and start from scratch or is this something I should let a bike mech look into?
