after 4 weeks, maybe 5... my bike is running again.
it all started one night on my way home from work, on the freeway in the #2... my headlights went out... oh shit. got of the freeway ASAP.. and checked my fuses. they were good. didn't know what else to do, so hopped on and drove home blind. (it start) once i got home, that was the last time it ran.
after finding where the feed to the low beam comes from, i traced it to a blue and white wire, from the starter button switch. honda grounds out the headlights when cranking to alow for as much amps possible.
after repairing the connection, and physically testing the swtich, it was good.. put the bike back together, and now i didn't have fuel/spark.. should of checked before i put the ****er back together.
anyways, sometimes the bike would start, sometimes it didn't.. so i started looking at every plug... testing sensors, and switches... 4 weeks worth of labor, and i was really in a bind.
after looking around on the boards, i found out other people having similar problems because of a diode inside the ignition switch.
even testing the diode, i couldn't get current flow either way. so i took the next best route. i went to radio shack, and got a 5V resistor, and a 12V resistor. tried both, and both ways... nothing.
im guessings since they'res 30 thousand different diodes on the market, so chances are the radio shack one just wasn't the right one.
after replacing the ignition switch.. the bike ran.
no dramatic ending. if you don't have fuel/spark... keep in mind there's a diode inside the ignition switch that could be bad EVEN IF THE SWITCH TESTS OUT GOOD!!!!
