Thanks for all the info! I called my local dealer/service shop...Bromelys in Trevose Pa at time of trouble....am so disappointed at the lack of help! But they did tell me to check fuses even tho they couldn't tell me where they were LOL I found them tho & they were fine.This forum could almost put them out of business!!
The battery is going in , fully charged after work & have found..thru this site, the service/cymermanual & will be testing the starter & all the wires!
Thanks & will keep u all posted! I love this bike....2001 ls650 that I bought on ebay 4 yrs ago with 493 miles! I now have 20880 miles and hope to put many more on her!

20880 miles? Has the timing chain adjuster been checked?

You might take out the slotted plug in the left side cover make sure the engine is not locked up. Turn the crankshaft the same way the wheels turn, ccw, looking from the left side. Taking the spark plug out will make it easier to turn but you should be able to move it with the sp. plug in. DO NOT turn it backwards!!

If it will not turn, you need to remove the Right side cover & check the timing chain adjuster. With your mileage, it should be checked anyway. Cool

Whoa yeah!

Take the valve inspection covers off too. While turning the crank, check to see if they are moving. Don't force it.

Only reason not to go backwards is to avoid engaging the starter. Which make it stop too. Or twang if you go that far.

Reply #20 - 10/25/10 at 13:30:18 Dee, Sorry I've been absent from the site lately. Busy at work. I'm in the Allentown PA area. If you need help, PM me. I'm pretty good trouble shooter. One question, how old is the battery????

If the engine still spins when you press the starter, remove the spark plug and hold a finger tightly in the spark plug hole. If no compression is felt when the engine spins, you may have holed a piston or damaged a valve. If this is true, prepare to spend some money on parts and labor. Phelonius
