I needed to jump start my 09 ninja 650r. I turned on my car connected the cables and touched them to my bike, I heard a spark or click sound and then nothing happened. When I turn the key to the on position, it no longer turns on the display. In fact nothing at all happens. What could be wrong with the bike. Someone told me I fried my computer chip. Maybe there's a reset button?

Please don't do this again. The connection from the car has given your motorcycle the equivalent of brain damage. To get an idea about why you do not want to jump start from a car, look at the size of your motorcycle battery compared with the car battery. Even if you have a small car and a large motorcycle, the amperage that the car puts out can damage anything electrical. If you are lucky, you only blow a fuse. Most people are not that lucky. Your ignition system is probably fried. Most bikes since the mid 1990s had some type of computerized ignition system, Ninjas have had the since they first came out. I hate to say this, but this baby needs to go to the shop for some TLC. If you had the car running when you tried this, probably major damage. With the multitude of short trips mast cars make, the alternator current is immediately trying to recharge from the car's start, and you got not just the battery, but the relatively huge current from the alternator. Keep a small battery to start from, about the size of your motorcycle battery, and hook it up to a trickle charger to keep it ready. There are only two exceptions to this rule. One is the police bike made by Harley-Davidson from the early 1970s to the mid 1990s, the police model Electra Glide and the police model made by Moto Guzzi around the same period. I owned a 1972 Moto Guzzi California Special, a bike designed specifically to compete with the HD offering. Both used a car battery rather than a motorcycle battery. You can imagine trying to run a motorcycle, a police radio, flashing lights and a siren if you want to shudder. I jump started my neighbor's full-sized pickup truck with that bike. It ran a full sized car battery and a beefed up electrical system, Just like the Harley. If you are a movie buff, you can check out the old movies "Electra Glide in Blue" for the HD and "Electric Horseman" for the Goose. Don't try it with the Japanese Kawasakis that you saw in the TV show "CHiPs". They made no improvement in the electrical system, consequently they had a lot of dead battery problems. The CHP had less problems than city police, becausee they ran at high freeway speeds most of the time, but they still had some. They aren't used anymore. The models that HD used from the 1980s are mostly based on the rubber mounted FXR model, but some police departments use a FL (Road King type), unfortunatly, they no longer come with a beefed up electrical system; just a more efficient radio, lights and siren.

Sorry, no reset.
check all fuse links and fuses, hopefully those went before your chip.

When jumping a bike, connect bike first and disconnect first.
