Hey y’all. I’m honestly lost and feel super down.

  • Facts: CBF1000 sc58
  • Last thing I did was get my alternator and regulator repaired/changed. My alternator was burnt out. The mechanic said that it’s am usual problem with this model and the regulator is the problem.
  • I had to learn to take it out and rebuild it myself. About a month ago, I finally put the alternator back in and my bike actually started! I was overjoyed.
  • Since a week now I’m trying to actually ride it again and it won’t start. I recharged the battery (Li-ion). When I tried starting it, the battery kinda drained immediately. It just didn’t start. Luckily, I have a second (gel) battery that was full. I put that in and my bike didn’t even light up. The fuses all look fine to me. The cables should be correct (there aren’t that many options).

I just don’t even know where to start. Thanks for reading

    It probably wouldn’t have happened in one month, it just got worse until it stopped working.

    Battery negative — will connect to the engine. The black cable coming from the battery. Loosen that, give it a wiggle, tighten again.

    Battery positive + will have a large red cable, and some smaller ones too. The large red will go to the starter solenoid, loosen that, give it a wiggle, tighten again.

    That’s a start.
