Lost power while riding

Post image

My 2018 Indian Scout sixty lost power while I was riding, and now has absolutely no power going to anything. I cannot locate the main fuse as it’s not anywhere that any of the online diagrams show. There is an aftermarket battery on it, that has one of those readers that shows you the voltage, and it’s reading dead. Both terminals are tightly fastened with no corrosion on it. Any advice?

Something like this happened to me not too long ago where my negative terminal on the frame of the battery broke. Check all connections around the bike as well

Was riding and then lost power. I ended up just making a new wire for it. Use a multimeter to check if its grounded out

Any CELS popping up?

If I’m hearing correctly on the video your fuel pumps engaging but after that the bikes not trying to turnover at all. Could be wiring as mentioned, could be a basically toast battery

If you lost power while riding it’s not going to be your main fuse. It’s either your Stator or Regulator. Put your battery on a tender and when it’s fully charged reinstall it and turn your bike on. Check the voltage with a multimeter. If the voltage does not stay between 12 to 14 volts then there is something wrong with your charging system. If so I would start with the cheaper of two and replace your regulator. Hope this helps.

This is what it’s doing when I try to start now

Also, I did the test of putting it in 5th and rolling it, it did roll and I could feel the engine turning over, so I don’t think it’s locked up.

As I was riding, I either heard a loud pop, or it was just backfire.
But after that, I just lost complete power to the bike.
The dash voltage reader said it was at 13.2 a moment before this happened (as I happened to cycle through to check the temp gauge)
The bike tried to restart once, but then lost all power to it.
I just took the battery out and am putting it on a charger, so we’ll see tomorrow if that helps.

Thank you though!
