So I've posted over at Honda Twins but haven't gotten very far, figured I'd ask here. Had just gotten my carbs cleaned, synched and was ready to take her for a test spin. Got to the end of the driveway, stalled (clutch needs work), decided to bump it as my driveway exits onto a hill. Kick it into 3rd, bounce on the seat and drop the clutch. I hear a clunk from the front of the bike, presumably where the starter motor is, and she's done. Cylinders are moving, theres nay a spark, nor headlights nor turn signals or tail light. She's dead. Walk back up the hill, get my fuse kit and voltage meter along with some wrenches. Fuses are fine. Battery is at 11.95v, figure it could be that but I would think there would still be lights. Pull the battery, give it a charge for a few hours, get it back in the bike and still nothing. At this point, I'm stumped. Someone on the HT forums asked if I could have shorted my battery with the seat pan, I figure that's highly unlikely as the battery is easily an inch or more below the pan and I'm a fairly lightweight guy. Curious if you guys have any thoughts on what it might be, and where to start looking if you don't. Thanks!
