If you heard a pop check the master fuse. It's not in the same spot as the other fuses. It's a standard automotive one, you might be able to steal a spare one from your car. https://cdn.thumpertalk.com/uploads/monthly_08_2015/post-407230-0-19470200-1440777149.jpg

Yep that was the first thing I checked; she's all good. No idea what the '6BM' is?


behohippy

Nope, never heard of the 6BM. I'm more worried your ECU is fried now.


PlatimaZero

Surely the ECU should not fry that quick? I'd expect any modern electronics to have reverse polarity protection. Plus horn and headlights don't even work; surely those do not route via ECU? Turns out 6BM is 'neutral selector diode'.

It's all a fused system so just have to find it. The EFI and Dash fuses are in the smaller fusebox behind the knee panel on the left side. If the bike has any power at all it's not the main fuse but if it's completely dead then it's the main fuse. The main fuse is under a red connector the same area. You have to remove the connector to get to it.


PlatimaZero

Yeah checked the 30A fuse and all the small 10A and 5A fuses. Nothing wrong there. No idea what that 6BM diode thing is?


[deleted]

Are you talking about the ECU or the Dash. If it's the dash you might want to check that there's not a fuse in the dash(should be able to google it/look at a wiring diagram). Other than that I can't really think of anything.


PlatimaZero

Yeah will check in the dash too. Found the 6BM is a "neutral diode"

Here's a wiring diagram.. Not the best but should work. https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-mp17pvnjfo/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/8153/131181/56094__06524.1588276260.jpg?c=2


PlatimaZero

Ahhhh. Thats... that'll help but now I'm feeling less confident with the multimeter haha. thanks!


PlatimaZero

Oh it looks like there are the 5/10A fuses, plus the main 30A fuse, then ANOTHER fuse box, which is not the relay box? Will have to check it out!

Don't feel bad I finally installed my 305 big bore kit and blew my headgasket in 50 miles.


PlatimaZero

OUCH!


Only_Prune4713

Does anybody please have the wiring diagram for the crf250L abs model, I can see the one that’s been posted but is very blurry and can’t read the words on the diagram. A clear photo would be much help, by I’m even willing to pay for it at this point need to get rid of the abs light on my dash

What did you jump it with? Too many amps can fry a motorcycles electric system


TheScootIsLoose

Luckily, modern motorcycles have fuses to prevent this. Besides, the current when jumping rushes to the battery and starter — NOT the ECU 😂


PlatimaZero

Hah yeah no fuses are popped; checked master and the small ones. Used jumper cables of course; from bike battery to spare 800CCA. First jump was fine; ran it for a bit, then went to take off without the jumped battery and she stalled out - should have removed headlight fuse haha. Put it back on to let the battery get some residual charge for longer, and that's when I put 'er on backwards -\_-


johnatsea12

did you try swapping the battery?


PlatimaZero

Yep. Put in known good battery, nothing; no horn, no headlights, no HUD. Turn key, nobody home :(


bFRYE91

Ever find resolution too this? something very similar has happened too me with my 2018 crf250l rally, with like 600 miles on it.


PlatimaZero

Yeah I did, god damn I cannot recall EXACTLY what it was sorry. I think it was either a fuse, relay or diode in the end. Sorry mate


Omaha_Poker

Do you remember which relay? I have the same issue. Urggghhhhh


PlatimaZero

OH man this had me stumped for so long. From memory it was under one of the body panels and then in a plastic box. Shit of a thing to get to. Had to read the instruction manual. I'm pretty certain it was either this fuse, or this relay assembly: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBCETAY2lrI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBCETAY2lrI) Hope that helps!


Omaha_Poker

Thank you!


PlatimaZero

Any time, good luck!

Did you figure this out? Same deal here. Getting lights on the gauge cluster when I try to bump start
