Electrical problems
Looking for some help:
I bought a Hawk 250 last year. Changed oil, adjusted valves, bled brakes, stiffened forks, full exhaust, Nibi carb, beefier chain and sprockets... all before starting it. Got it working pretty well. 1200 miles on it. Went for a 6 hour adventure ride. Bike running great. Stop at mountain top for photos. 30 min later, turn on key and nothing. No lights. Found battery swollen. Bike did start and got me home. New battery installed, no lights work. Bike runs. Any ideas??? Thanks, Darin |

Check fuses, check electrical connector tightness throughout the harness.

Electric start work or did you have to kick start it?

Check voltage at the battery while running. Should be at 14 to 14.5v. If higher, than rec/reg is bad and frying your battery and maybe burnt out your lights if incandescent.
