'12 Scrambler won't start.

I rode it yesterday, put it away as usual. Actually I ride it every day. This morning, I turn the key and I don't hear the fuel pump prime and I do not get any dash lights. No joy on the start button. Not even a wiggle.

All other electrical aspects of the moto work - headlight (low/high), turn signals, brake lights, horn. Did not notice any dimming of the lights when I pressed the starter.

Check all fuses/relays and battery/connections. I figured if the battery was dead, I wouldn't get ANY lights on.

Any suggestions?

I'm going to connect the charger to it for a few hours to see it that solves it and do a few more forum searches for similar issues.

Make sure your kill switch on your handle bar is in the run position!

Please disregard my initial post. Apparently these 90 degree temperatures, coupled with yard work and car detailing have made me temporarily stupid, (and dehydrated).



I must have hit the kill switch when I put the cover on last night.

I've done the same thing before; it happens to the best of us.

Yep that rings a bell, done it a few times myself. Panic sets in until you realise what it is
