Title: Another "Bike won't start" thread... Post by Savage 1987 on 09/19/12 at 07:40:19 I have done a RYCA conversion on my savage and it has been running without any issues since I completed it (about 4 months now). Just recently it has been unable to start. I haven't even started physically troubleshooting, just mental troubleshooting. Here is what's happening. -when I switch the key on, my headlight goes on, my gauges light up. everything seems normal. -when I hit the start button, I get nothing. no clicks, no noises, not even an attempt to turn over. My manual decompression lever is engaged. -to me it seems this is an electrical problem. Are there any good ways to test the starter motor, solenoid, and relay? I guess I should also take the start button apart to make sure the wires are all in place. Any ideas for me are much appreciated. Thanks. |

Title: Re: Another "Bike won't start" thread... Post by verslagen1 on 09/19/12 at 08:09:15 start with the safeties. clutch in neutral and if that don't work, kickstand up You can short the clutch safety to see if it works or use an ohm meter to verify it works. neutral light on? kickstand safety can be shorted to |

Title: Re: Another "Bike won't start" thread... Post by Gyrobob on 10/16/12 at 12:36:17 I undid all those safeties in the Double RYCA build. Lucky for me I developed most of my motorcycle operation habits back in the 1960's when there were NO safeties at all,.. well,.. until the Japs started taking everything over. My first real motorcycle was a 1964 Ducati 250 Monza. No safeties at all. It had a left-footed kick starter, though, with no electric start, so you were never in much danger of getting the started and shooting forward all of a sudden. Anyway, that is where I picked up the habit of rolling the bike forward or back a foot or so with the clutch out to make sure it was in neutral. blah blah blah |
