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.

It takes patience to deal with these things,you have to learn to stay calm. You might have some loose connections that "magically" heal themselves- recheck everything or sell now while it's running!

if i can get it runnin withough dumping 4 or 500 bux into ill keep it...yea its slow an dont do wheelies but its better on gas
 
My bets on the coil relay mod. Loose connection or bad relay. Actually it sounds like a bad ground
Did you use a pigtail or are you using individual connections on the relay?
 
Sorry, but if your mechanic skills are anything like your typing and grammar skills you should stop trying to fix the bike.

"rather good" sounds like progress! Even in 70 degrees my bike needs full "choke" applied with NO throttle input for a quick cold start.

yep id say progress...rode it 25 miles today..start stop, wot through all gears, normals...let the bike cool for a few hours an back on etc..

but yes when its cold it dont like it...but once the bike is warm its fun...

my bike full choke it still cranks for a good minute...i think its due to the crap sync tool i had...prolly just pay the 50 or so to have em synced at a shop

So what was the fix? Vice grips and a hammer? ;)

zip ties and electrical tape...

oh yes i forgot to tell u...this morning while it was warming up, i was inside getting my helmet an jacket...i head a big boom outside...i set my helmet down an said...there went the bike....without a miss

but was a sonic boom

but yea it was something between a possible faulty relay...junk igniter plug/ground wire, and the wires that come out of the fuse box..

i guess time will tell if its fixed..
 
dun dun dun...it did it again...i got it down to the fusebox area....dirty connections maybe?
 
These bikes are very cold natured to begin with, even in 100 degree heat my bike needs to be choked to start even after running for awhile.
 
Sonic boom? That can't be good, for the bike or the heart.

Hard cold starting may be a sign of improper valve clearance. I know you haven't touched on it in this thread and may have elsewhere, but have you adjusted the valves?
