Ignition problem?
Green Fiend:
It's funny you say that, I think that's exactly what's happening. Took gas tank off earlier and the last guy had the clutch cable and stator wires underneath the white plastic sheath. They were actually rubbing into the frame not through the wires, but you could see they had alot of pressure on them he also had them tied together. I might be wrong but it looks like the wires go in that white sheath. That's where I put them, like it was meant to be. Put the clutch cable where it can have play and move free. Wasn't going to try it today, but that's insane you came up with that, I wasn't sure seemed too simple, but then again seemed to be something simple all along. I'm going to take it out now. I'll let you know. Can't wait.

I'm sorry I meant the throttle cable was tied together with the stator wires under the seat. I thought about that on the way to the park. Clutch cable was clear except where it rubbed into the radiator bracket. Taped that up. Got to the park and couldn't get it to fire at all. I hate electrical problems!
kaw rider:
check for spark if it don't start.

Chiilllll out, just go through it step by step. The ignition in this bike is like three parts, so it's not too complicated. Ohm out what you can to see if anything is fried, check all your wires and connectors, Ect. There is a lot of stuff on here that can help you, use the search tool. BUT FIRST, do what kaw said and pull the plug, have your buddy hold it, kick it over good, and see how good and strong your spark is. That is your first indicator. Screw the dealership, it's a waste of $$ and gas getting the bike there! BEST $$ spent is on the service manual, www.repairmanual.com they got em all. And don't be scared to tear into it... you can always fix what you break :lol: look around on here, ask some questions. but check your spark first, KAW knows what hes talkin about. I think he might be trying to walk you through it! :wink:
