bike wont start

[P-ham]

i have a 04 r6 and i put it on its cage today to do donuts when its on its side but after that the bike wouldnt start..... i checked the fuses with a test light and cant seem to figure out why it wont start.. maybe its the tip over sensor??? but i have no idea where that is.. HELP

check the kick stand sensor.. and your tip over sensor is supposedly in the tail section.. did you attempt to put it on its side when the bike was running? trying that.. and look for any loose connections...

i dont think its my kick stand because i get power to everything there just isnt enough juice to start it... it will push start though ... i have a brand new battery in it.. im thinking it might be loose wiring or maybe my tip over sensor moved around and is always on now?? cuz my guage cluster goes off and back on everytime i try and start the bike

sounds like the bike isnt charging ..push start it and check the voltage at the battery , should be 13.5 or higher when the bike is running and a little above 12 when it's not running ..

you might have to give it a rev or two to get every thing charging ..

i pushed started it and let it run for like 10 mins and it still wouldnt start after i turned it off...

check the voltage with it running to see if it's charging , if it is charging then check the voltage of the battery with the bike not running that way you will know if it's the battery or some thing in the charging system

check to make sure all the cable are tight too

My r6 did the same thing and it was the rectifier. It rode fine that day and I went to visit a friend at his shop when I left I rode a long as wheelie down the block, set it back down to turn right then made it a little ways down the street and that was it I fried the rectifier. Check the wires going into it to see if they look burned. You can get one cheap if it needs to be replaced

my bike still isnt running i havent checked the rectifier yet, i will when i have time and how do i check the voltage for the batteries? i dont have a volt meter or anything like that all i got is a test light lol....

u need a voltage meter. they arnt that expensive. get one
