Changed mirrors and now bike won't start

I changed my mirrors from the stock mirrors to a set off a CBR 1000RR that also have the integrated turn signal on the mirror and they give me a much larger field of vision behind me now. I don't have them set up as running lights, just turn signals. The problem is, now the bike won't start. I don't know if turning the key on and off testing the lights may have changed some kind of security or anti-theft set up. The bike ran fine before this change. Any advise?
 
I wish it were something that easy, but that was the first thing I checked. I thought I remembered reading something about resetting the immobilizer system by turning the bike on and off for x amount of seconds. I was thinking I may have done that accidentally while I was testing the turn signals. It just makes a clicking sound when I try to start it. Maybe it has nothing to do with changing out the turn signal lights and its just coincidental but....
 
What voltage reading are you getting 9/10 starting issues with rsvs are due to low voltage. I understand that below 12.3 on the dash is not enough
 
I will check all your ideas tonight after work and report back! Thanks for the help.
 
Just wanted to follow up..... It was the battery. Voltage was low and just won't hold a charge. Bought a new battery and it started right up! Thanks all!
 
Yuasa YTX. I have a Yuasa in my Ducati too. I've never had a problem with them.
 
hi kigsby, was it an easy job swopping the mirrors, ie wiring, and any chance you could post a pic of your handywork cheers
