Bike died on Montana I-94. - bflint - 08-25-2019
Lost power. Coasted to stop. Have battery power for lights and console. No starter power. Any ideas?

Kill switch on, check kickstand switch.

bflint does the fuel pump run when the stop/run switch is cycled with ignition key on?
which lights light up?
Retsel all good points but sidestand switch does not prevent starting, neutral light/sw does, as does the stop switch
fuel pump is a very good indicator for fault finding, it means the computer, fuel cutoff relay, fuel pump, bank angle switch and fuel pump fuse are ok.
to test the fuel cutoff relay you can swap the relays under the seat, they are the same.
the clutch handle switch overrides the neutral switch when pulledin enabling the rider to start the engine in gear.
the sidestand switch only prevents the rider from riding away with the sidestand down.

COOL but why did the fuse operate mid-stream?
Thanks for the feedback and good riding.

At rest stop. You folks might have to revoke my forum membership. Noticed big red toggle under right mirror. Pretty sure I hit that while adjusting my position while driving. Did not think about that until just now. Good bar story and laughs for you all. Had to unload all luggage to get to fuses. Thankful to all the Montana drivers who just kept going

Glad it was something simple. I did that on the FJR one time, but figured out what I did pretty quick. Toggled the red button (which weirdly on a Yamaha is also the starter switch) and it fired right up. No issues since.

Well i hope you did not throw the "broken" fuse away.
Did a quick search on the web for fuses with buildt-in led indicators but came up empty ( Csory are you listening? )
So i panicked and realized i had no way to test fuses or anything electrical on the roadside...............
But i did have an unused little "electron counter", so i soldered a little probe on one side and a blue negative lead on the ground side, taped it up and;
It indicates everything between 4,5 and 24 volts, i'm ready now, so two good things happened today

Glad to hear you're back on your way. I had the same thing happen on a road trip, though mine turned out to be a malfunctioning kill switch.
For future reference, when the kill switch is preventing a start, you'll get two indications that it is your problem.
1. No fuel pump sound when you turn the key on.
2. The check engine light will not illuminate (normally comes on for a few seconds when ignition is turned on).
Ride on!

I had a similar issue when my 2013 was new. My glove brushed against the kill switch, not enough to move it to the "off" position, and the motor quit. Everything looked okay but bike would not start. I set the kill switch to off and then back to run, motor started. I was able to repeat this later at home by merely touching the switch just enough to move it away from "on" momentarily.
