the Popo ran fine yesterday til I shut it off. Now it has absolutely no power. No display - nothing. I searched for a circuit breaker as this seems to me to be the most likely culprit. The service manual says it is in front of the gas tank but I can't find it. I have the front plastics off but still can't identify it. Do any of you guys have any hints as to where to locate it? Pics would be greatly helpful if you have any. I searched for pics here but the only ones I found were for earlier models.

TIA

check the battery connections and also the connections on the solenoid which is above the left rear tire. wiggle the wires a bit and see if you get power back, if you do, there is your problem.

I removed & cleaned the batt terminals & did wiggle the connections at the solenoid - nothing. I did not take the connections at the solenoid completely off - I guess that's next

Come on guy I need the help bad dont want to go waste my money at the stealership....but guess I am gonna have to...nobody has had something like this happen????...Dont make me wish I'd kept my honda.......

The ciorcuit breakers are either under the seat, or under the front rack. They are sealed in little black pouches about the size of a caramel square.
Shake the pouches, if you hear a slosh of water inside, that is almost certainly the problem breaker. You can replace the breaker by slitting the pouch open to gain access, and then re-sealing it with silicone.

Well I already took it to a dealer....he said the same thing but couldn't show me where it was....it turns out I have a friend with the same machine....he had the same problem....I will find out tomorrow, but his was an ecm he is on his 3rd which doesnt make me happy...but at least I was told it will be a recall as the 05's had a recall on the ecms.....Hope thats it....
