2005 s40 my first bike and its runs like S&*T
05/27/09 at 06:40:40
Hello fellow S40 ers
I have an issue that I can not find an answer to!
First every now and then my bike will not start nothing no lights horn nothing. then if I push it a few times the lights come back on and it may start. or may not.
Last night it happened 50 miles from my home.. I pushed it to start and it finally
kicked over but now it misses at cruising speed , back fires at 50 miles per hour.. light flicker and it misses... Im just got the bike and her i am trying to get it to run smooth.. any guidance would be great.
Thanks
Frank

Check your battery cables, make sure they are clean and tight.

If you're not blowin' fuses, then most likely a connection somewhere.
Check your battery cables and the connectors under the tank.

Is it possible when I push started it that I took it out of Timing?

I was able to swap batteries just yesterday w/o removing the seat.
And I don't think push starting would have an effect on timing.

loose connection... my money is on main fuse socket... the 4 wire connector to the iggy switch, the single wire bullet that goes to the bat hot term, or your bat to ground connection are the other likely culprits..

I came across very similar symptoms a while back. The problem was the cable connectors beneath the seat - in this case a green block.
When I was off the bike it would start and idle fine - when I put my rump in the saddle and took off, the lights would flicker, the engine would sputter and die about 1/4 mile later. Dismount, starts right up, take off, lights flicker.... (repeated about a dozen times until my 3 brain cells kicked and told me it was time to fix something)

yeah me too - wierdest thing - i stopped b/c a girl hit a deer ahead of me- she was crying- deer was (apparently) dead in the road...when my '07 backfired at shutdown - no lie - the deer jumped up and ran away!
when all was cleaned up and time to go - bike wouldn't start with me on- would start with me off! green connector was loose - 10 minutes to get the seat off with the rudimentary tools i carry, 10 seconds to re-plug! - we need an easier/quicker way to attach the seat!
