Hi Guys. Looking for some help. Just installed Lloydz Intake Filter, put everything back together and turned on the power. Hit the starter and everything shut down, dark. I double checked the wires and made sure everything was grounded and still the same problem. It's got to be something obvious, but I'm drawing a blank.
Any direction you guys send me would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds to me like battery cables aren't tight.

Check battery cables and engine ground along with starter supply connection.

battery cables, even if they seem tight enough , they may not be tight enough.

you fixed it now? give us a report. oh, and just don't tighten the cables, pull them, clean them, and then reinstall. same on the starter, pain, but may be worth it. Still having the problem, pull your center console and check your ignition switch connection.

Definitely want to know if you fixed it. Will be adding an upper filter to my vision in the future.

Cheers

Been away for a few days. Going to attack it on Saturday.
VARYDER, good to see you. I've been away from the site for too long. Getting bike ready for spring up here.
RoteBarron, I'll post on the weekend. Its an easy install, just having a seniors moment!

Good to see you, Ken. I hope you get that issue figured out. I'm hoping to see Vision-Rider's flourish like it did in the hey-day of the Vision introduction. I've got to tighten up a few things and replace a few things, but the Bentley is running strong with no signs of letting up anytime soon.

Hi guys. Here's the update......battery. I got 8 years on the original battery. Was planning on a new one this year anyway. Thanks for your input. Really relieved it wasn't something electrical.
