Title: Help! Plug/Cap replacement problem wiht startup?
Post by shermeco on 06/02/08 at 19:59:46

Well, I did my plug/cap replacement today as well as rejetting the cabs with lancers jets. Put it all back together and the battery died. Before the battery died i tried starting it while in 1st gear with pushing in the clutch and it wanted to move on me it tried to drive any ideas what that might be before i try stating it again? thanks for any help you can give

not sure I understand - you hit the start button while in gear with the clutch pulled in on a cold engine and it jumped a bit? - sounds proper to me

I have never had it jump like that before. Because when you have the clutch pushed in it is in neutral correct?

Did you put the clutch release pin back in? It is easy for it to fall out when you remove or handle the RH (Clutch side) case cover. Max

Details????

By Plug/cap do you meant the one inside the head cover?

If the bike moved when you hit the starter, then the clutch cable is out of adjustment or some other clutch issue. The interlock switch is at the clutch lever, and on a normally adjusted bike, the interlock will not let the starter buttom do anything if the lever is not in far enugh to make contact with the switch. But if it's out of adjustment.... you might make contact with the switch but still have the clutch slighly engaged.

Question, with the bike off, and bike in gear, and clutch lever pulled in, can you roll the bike?

Yes I can roll the bike but i think i figured it out what was wrong it was the starter solenoid. I put up another post about that maybe you can help me with that.
