Hi everybody, sorry if this has been done to death but I'm hoping you can help a crappy, noob, wanna-be bike mechanic get my bike running. I went to start my bike after having it sit for a couple months and of course, the battery was super dead and wouldn't take a charge. So I replaced the battery and now when I go to start the bike, it won't even try to start. The lights turn on and the dials do their starting thing where they go full on and come back down. When I flip the switch on, the starter thing makes that noise like it's ready to start. Then I press the ignition button and... nothing. It might make a little click or something but the starter doesn't even try to turn over. I was thinking maybe it might be a fuse? When I had a dead battery I tried putting my charger in the "start" mode to see if I could get the bike fired up. But maybe it was too much amperage for the bike and it blew something? I was looking online and it said these bikes are known to have stators go bad after awhile so I bought one from Amazon. This was the one I bought:
Amazon.com: ElectroSport Stator for 08-12 Suzuki DL650: Automotive
Do my symptoms sound like it could be a stator issue? I got to thinking, maybe a blown fuse would make more sense. Any ideas what fuse would blow in a situation like this?
Thanks in advance, troopers!
