here's my problem: I was riding the bike all over town today, logged about an hour, then parked it. I felt like I wasnt done, so I went to the gas station to fill up. I filled her up, got back on, but suddenly, I only heard the dreaded single click. No turnover, nada. So I pushed the bike to the nearest hill I could find, put it in third, then pedaled as fast as I could. I got a few cranks out of it, but I failed to maintain it. Second try...I forgot to put the ignition on. Tired and defeated, I left the bike in gear, clutched and parked 90 degress to the curb, then let out the clutch. I was parking on a crowned road. I decided to just give it one more start and I clutched in, the bike rolled and bumped the curb...but more importantly, when I started it, the bike cranked! Two more tries (im not very good at starting it yet) and it was running. I rode it another 10 to 15 minutes, took her home and parked it. I tried again to start it to see if its a recurring problem. Sure enough, it is!
thoughts? reflections?
