Put new battery on but still dead .

[Buzz1250]

Hello all .. not any good at these things .. I’ve put a new battery on gsa 1250 . Think I may have blown a fuse ? ... the dash dose not even come to life . It’s ment to be charged and ready to go .. or is there something I’m missing

see if you did the changeover in a similar way, also battery probably does need initial charge

If the battery is fully charged ,check the 50
amp fuse under the riders seat in front of the fuel tank.

Maybe check continuity on the Earth post & the actual battery voltage.

No harm getting it onto an Optimate either.

Any joy ?

Do you have a good quality charger to see if it’s recoverable ?
