Thanks. I didn't hear the engine trying to turn over yesterday. I changed the spark plug last month but seems I need to check it again. Sorry I'm not fully understand how to “hold the plug against the engine”.... Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Start Up Problem
Do not attempt to hold the plug (or the wire) unless the plug is grounded against metal, preferably on the engine block, when you try to start the engine, or you will find out why. Big zap to you.

Re: Start Up Problem
A sunny and warm day today, got my battery installed in the morning and the bike just started very easily, just one click of the starter switch. I gave it a ride on highway and filled new gas also put in all the stablizer left last time. Performed an oil changed and cleaned the chain in the afternoon.
Kind of wierd, I did nothinng but the bike just recovered... Rided it several times today, it's all just 1 click of starter switch. Except late tonight, with 34 F outside, hold the starter switch for a while to get the bike start. Another question, kind of interested what is this hose under the engine does? When I was doing the oil change, I unplug this cap by mistake and a little bit oil leaked out from this hose. Thank you all! |

Re: Start Up Problem
That is the drain for the air box.It is normal for a little water & oil to drain out.Just make sure that the plug goes back in & is clamped so it can't fall out.It is a good idea to drain it every time you change the oil.Glad that your bike is running well after the problems you had.Make sure that you use your choke when the temperature gets cooler,your bike will start easier.
