Hey new Firebolt xb12r owner.
Heres the problem: Rode it the gym fine today, then when I went to turn her on and turned off the kill switch hit the ignition it didnt crank over nothing... All the electrical turned on it made the noise after turned off the kill switch but when I hit the "yellow button" nothing happened. Could someone give me an idea, I think it may be the starter relay if so could someone give me more direction on it. Thanks

Fuse box's by front fairing black box. There should be stickers on the covers that show the layout of the fuses and relays

Check battery cables and grounds

Do you lock the forks when you park? You probably went one click to far and put it in park, which left the lights on while you were inside and drained the battery.

Done that before one or two times more than I care to admit.

Green light on?

If not, put it in neutral. Green light will come on.

Or hold in clutch to start if no light.

have the battery tested,check to see if your getting good voltage to the starter while pushing the start switch if not make sure its in neutral,swap the starter relay,check all the fuses,and clean the contacts in the start switch
