Installed Verslavy, bike won't start. (Read 114 times)

josesito YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 24	Installed Verslavy, bike won't start. 01/31/19 at 09:30:46 Hello, I modified my cam chain tensor but when I try to start the bike it is too hard to turn. Wont just crank like it used too. Should I attribute this to the modified chain tensor? Thank you for your advice!

If you removed the oil filter make sure that it is not installed backwards. If the filter is installed backwards it will obstruct flow and cause a hydraulic lock. If the engine starts in that condition it can blow a large hole in the side cover.

Check that the engine turns freely by removing the timing plug on the left side and rotating the engine clockwise with a socket. If it turns free you probably don't have anything rubbing or bound up.

Knowledge is power.

When you reinstalled the side cover ,If you didn't lift the clutch arm to near level when sliding the cover on it may not have engaged the correctly. look to see that the arm falls between the to marks on the case, if the arm is above the top mark ,it's not seated and the clutch is still engaged ( the motor is turning over slower as the transmission- clutch/gears/shafts are added to the load, even if the bike is in neutral)

Reply #6 - 02/01/19 at 11:45:28 Another thing to check is the battery ground connection at the engine. The connection is on the side where you would have been working. Maybe it is loose or corroded and not making good contact?

thanks for all the input guys! nothing a few days at the shop won't fix.

The bike started today, super happy now and waiting for tomorrow.

Turns out the battery I bought (Acid type) is weak for this motorcycle.

I am charging it over night and its nothing a battery tender won't fix... Huh

I think I have got it now.

Great news!

Did not put any silicone on it just plugged and play. Heading outside to see how my battery does after charging all night.

I'd follow FAST 650 's advice above, and check the battery ground at the motor ,it's located near the oil level site glass ,slighty above it and about 2" back in . make sure it's clean and tight as it will affect both starting and charging.
the stock battery is twice as big a battery than the bike needs to start if it tuned, it's not to weak unless it's defective.
