Arg! Ok, heres what happened:
Checked all the connections under the seat over and over again
After I was sure there aren't any bad/loose connections, I scanned all the wires and found a green wire had been severed (apparently I got too enthusiastic with my removal of the airbox)
I have great pics too, btw, but can't seem to figure out how to put them in my post..
So, anywho, I trace the little bugger all the way down to the kickstand!
Yay! I thought to myself. Surely this was my culprit, right? So I spliced it together real nice and sealed her up with liquid electrical tape. I did the same with the adjacent black wire w/white stripe even though it wasn't severed, just beat up a little.
After reinstalling the gas tank, I excitedly turned the key and NOTHING! Dang it! So I remove the heat shrink from the little blue wire coming out of the crankcase and see that there is a a connection there that seems pretty solid. I am now overjoyed that I won't be taking off the case cover to fix any connections
......I think........
So I follow the little blue wire all the way up under the tank, where it makes a connection to a yet smaller blue wire and disappears into the main wire harness.
I'm now confused as to what actually is the issue at this point.
Determined, I tried again to crank her up, and I actually got it to start with the kickstand up!
So here it is:
The bike starts only with the kickstand up, and does not give me a N indicator still. Its as if the bike doesn't know its in N. I never found this kickstand Diode, does anyone have a pic??? Or should I be looking somewhere else now?
To end on a positive note, the bike sounds and rides like a fine tuned beast!
Theres just something I love about hearing a throttle suck in air.
