Title: some advisement please
Post by: dlighthill on September 08, 2008, 06:53:53 AM
i was changing my chain and sprockets, both front and rear, yesterday and now my bike won't start. it doesn't even click like it's trying. the lights work and i had it on the charger to make sure it wasn't the battery. i'm wondering if something came loose? when i removed the front cover to do the front sprocket it was filled with grease and o-rings, so i made sure to clean it out very well (i've never seen a chain throw all it's o-rings before).
suggestions would be helpful.....thanks

Hi there,
Welcome to the board, but...
I see you already posted this in the correct place -- the general question area. You shouldn't also post it here because this is the for sale section.
You only need to post it once and let people help you there.
It keeps the board cleaner and it helps keep the threads together, too.
Best wishes,
Trwhouse  :)
