I would guess one of two things. The starter button has shorted out and melted. This is what mine did the only time I ever used my bike to get some trim.(thanks chuck for the use of teh 4runner)<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=
http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>The other choice of options would be the kickstand switch. Easiest mistake in the world, kickstand down, bike in gear, yada yada yada.<br>I would go with option one myself, take the switch apart, careful not to lose the spring and see if there is a meltdown. Mine was easily fixed at home without any new parts.<br>Just my two bits, good luck.<br><br>Corey <p></p><i></i>

Do the headlights go out when you thumb the switch? If so I would definatley go with the starter switch or maybe even the 3 plugs over the top of the coils, those plugs burn out and short as well.<br>Again, good luck.<br>Corey <p></p><i></i>

Don't forget clutch cancel switch and IGN is prone to go south, sound familiar Corey? The one time I took corey's bike on a long trip, it shat out the wires leading into the harness and shorted out a few others. What a pain that day was, but nevertheless, thank you Corey.<br>CHUCK D. <p></p><i></i>

thanks for the info guys ill try the switch. the problem started after i tokk the tank and air box off to get to the spark plugs i thought i put everything back right but i obviously did not. also i put my gpx battery on by mistake the terminals are opposite to the yzf the main fuse blew but i guess more damage might have been done at the same time. <p></p><i></i>
