I just got this bike, I did a little trading for it. I was there when the guy took it apart and it was running before he started taking it apart. I have been working on putting it back together and just got to a point where I wanted to start it. Things that have been done, ignition switch replaced, turn signals replaced front and rear. battery has a full charge. It will not crank. when the ignition is turned on nothing happens in the cluster, but the signals and hazards work and thats about it. No crank, no click click, naadddaaa. I have checked all the fuses that are under the seat. everythingis good. any ideas?

the starter cranks, but the fuel pump does not come on when i turn the ignition on. the gauges do not work. nothing works except the hazards and signals. i have tested all the wires coming off the ignition switch and they all are getting the power they should. all the fuses are still good.

i dont know if yours is like this but my 00 zx-9 under the air box close to the front of the engine there is a connector that connects the ignition switch and other stuff take it apart and inspect it mine had a bit of corrosion on some pins with i sanded and put dielectric grease.

Check it out

did you find the prob?

Blown fuse to begin with means there was something to cause it. Disconnect the battery and do a careful trace of all associated wiring, including ground connections.

Since the gauge cluster won't light, do a comprehensive fuse check.
If no other fuses are blown, it may be that you just overlooked a connector somewhere. They're all over the place. Do you have the service manual. If so, go over reassemby line by line. I bet you'll find it.

Also, since you bought the bike as a disassembled unit, carefully review and trace all systems using the service manual to make sure nothing is left out.

I have this problem too, for a zx9 engine I bought for an offroad buggy, Ive connected everything and when I try and start it, nothing happens.

It will crank when I cross the positive to the starter at the solenoid but thats as far as I get.
