    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Sorry but need to vent. Went to ride bike to work this morning....get all geared up, tank bag loaded and secure...turn key, push start...."click".....she no starty.....

This after having just pulled and cleaned starter, reassembled and she fired right up. Nothing so frustrating!!!!

Checked the obvious things, now need to chase power to the starter again but suspect that something bunged up and I've got to pull carbs, remove starter all over again.

MFing bassssssturd!!!!!
 
Did you hear a "click" from the solenoid? If not run a ground to the solenoid mounting bolt and then directly to the negative post on the battery.
 
The last thing I messed with...

The last thing I messed with...

was one of the front turn signals. The nut was just hand tight so I tightened it up. It seems there's 1 wire that routes thru the post, the other appeared to be held by the nut???

So when I tightened it up, I tried to keep that wire in between the nut and the turn-signal post. I suspect its not making contact properly. The signal still works, but when I complete detached that wire, the bike wouldn't crank and the signal just stayed on, wouldn't blink.

Will start there after the kids get to bed.....and another beer!!!!

:0)
 
Stumped...

Stumped...

Not sure how the turn signal is supposed to be wired. I unscrewed the whole thing and one wire runs thru the post to the light, the other seems to have been wrapped around the threads and held in place by the nut.....

As for the starter problem I guess I just have to take the whole thing apart again. Any suggestions?
