Title: Won't start, any tips?
Post by: Kteq on November 30, 2005, 11:55:42 AM
My bike won't start after coming back from vacation and moving houses. I tried restarting the battery with a mobile charger and the motorcycle sounds like its cranking but not firing. I'm going to try out the suggestion from this website http://motorcyclecruiser.com/tech/wontstart/. Anyone have any good suggestions or idea's of whats wrong? I might have to call a local service place =\. If your tip works ) I'll treat you to some double doubles in the San Diego area.

Um sometimes you have to leave the charger on like overnight should do it.  I recently had the same problem!!!  Also try turning the petcock to prime.

Jump it with your car, worked for me after a week of -6 to -10 C weather
