Hello all. I crashed my bike exactly 2 months ago. Just got it back together today and since my battery's dead I tried to jump it but nothing happens, no sound or anything. I have everything back on it except for the clutch lever- which I still need- but I just figured I could pull the clutch cable and when I do I can shift gears. When I turn the key everything lights up and is fine but when hitting the ignition switch nothing happens. When I had my accident I turned off the fuel valve and it's been off until now when I tried to start it about 5 minutes ago but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Anybody know what could be causing this problem? Perhaps my wiring is messed? I followed the diagrams in my Clymers so I think everything is legit, except there's one small plug that I can't find anything to plug it in to-- it's the "Position wire" whatever that is.
uhm, did you bridge the clutch sensor thingy?
ahh good idea! I see it dangling looking lonely...i'm gonna try it.
Aha!! It's alive! At first it wouldn't start and I got discouraged, then I slid a little plastic dongle on the underside of the plug in and it started! I'm back in the saddle again hooray! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, tragic. :cheers:
don't ride without a clutch.
Yea, there's no way you can pull the clutch cable by hand hard enough to disengage it. If you can then there's a problem with the clutch.
