TO ALL VN1500 OWNERS....This once happen to me, I went to the garage to start the bike "Nothing ""The first thing is the lights are bright but no turning over,Next you think the solenoid is kaput but the answer was very simple and the fix takes 30 seconds.. Do not take the bike to bits looking for other problems and look at the clutch leaver and you will see some wires going into a plastic shroud going into the switch in the clutch leaver, Make sure this has not popped out if its connection as it some times may do after a few years due to constant turning on the handlebars, When this is not connected you will have a bike that will not fire up but comes alive and you will hear a clicking noise but this is from the engine carb area and every function of the bike will work but it will not turn over, Worth looking at and saves sixteen quid for a starter unit you never needed.
Most modern bikes will not start unless the battery is charged. Battery is probably dead, and you rectifier is most likely dead too. change those out with ones known to work and see if that changes it.
I actually have a scematic of this as I have a friend with an earlier model.
The fuse box is shown above the battery but is not clear.
My friends is in a state of severe strip down, loads of wear, my advise is mend the electrics and sell it!
"You've got an exposed hot wire somewhere in the power circuit that's
grounding out and causing resistance in the wire. Not sure how to help
on this one, electrical problems are damn near invisible, but I'd start
looking for a burn mark or scorched insulation on any of the wiring
leading up the relay, starter, or main fuze block in the tail."
my bike is a 2008
