Bike Will Not Start

[Jason P.]

I THINK I KNOW WHATS WRONG!!!!!!


It's the same issue I was having with mine Jason... The sevice connector (basically a ground box) has a bad ground.

Let me guess, your dash comes on but not 100% on, no headlights, and your blinkers are on but solid and not blinking?

everything actually turns on 100% i manage to flood start and she fired up, but died after i revved a bit. imma check connectors and whatnot now.

speedo = speedometer

do you have the service manual? i have one in PDF on my webserver if you need it

lol yea i knew the speedo is speedometer but i couldnt find the sensor. if you have the manual i would really appreciate it! can you email it to sk8soljah04@yahoo.com?

I THINK I KNOW WHATS WRONG TOO!!!!!!


It's a Honda..... JK....

Pfft...Operator error is more like it...


After RE READING this thread, I am going on a limb and calling it fouled plugs..

You change them and the world will be right again...

could sound quite bad, but i tried to find the speedo and tip over sensor, no dice but i started it with the body work off, and it wants to crank over, just doesnt happen..

here's a picture of the back of the headlight assembly. the part in the center with the green & white wires is your Tip Over Sensor

Ok, i'm taking my guess back... if the bitch started with the flood method then you should be ok. Firebolt Eric is right. Start it the flood method again and let it warm up fully with out revving it. then you should be all set. I had that happen to me once and did the flood start and had the same issue with the revving before it was fully warmed up?

If you are still haveing issue tomorrow i can take a ride up and help you go over it. I had my electronics apart 5 times last year before I found the service box ground issue. Haven't had an issue since.

Also if it started at all then you know your not having an issue with the tip over sensor or what not.

You might want to fill every connector with Di-Electric grease too... Just a good thing to have done, you can look at all your connectors to and give them a visual check for issues.

Also, checking the spark plugs is a huge PITA.

[Jason P.]

yea steve lol the ground box is fine, all them metal teeth things are in place. and it did start on a flood start and died once again. the bike is mostly apart for me to check. imma flood start it one more time.

[Jason P.]

ok the bike is legit behind me in the garage. i flood started it and it fired up. now any suggestions while i have her running?

stuff a rag in the tank and light it with a match.


then buy a GSXR

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

well i revved it high and it didnt die this time. ill check in tonight when im back from work and hopefully she runs in one piece

Ride around neighborhood for at least 10 minutes

[xsiliconkid]

maybe lots of water was in the tank?....this 10% ethanol is a killer ,it absorbs all the moisture and then drops out of suspension

Plugs and air filter

[Stoneman]

Almost sounds like some critter made a nest in the airbox whilest in storage...

[Jason P.]

lol no i took her out last weekend all weekend to ride, so any critter in there will be dead by now

she fired up normal tonight when i came back from work, rode around for 30 minutes. everything seems fine

thnks for all the help guys! hopefully tomorrow will be better

[Murph]

I vote it was fouled plugs and probally crappy gas....

[Jim]

still recommend stuffing the tank with a rag & lighting it.

[Murph]

He's gotta be sitting on it to light the rag ...right???
