Posted December 6, 201014 yr hi there all many thx for ur time and help i got the old girl going -started the battery was fine it was the starter button that seems 2 be the prob i bypassed the cylonoid and she started i think the starter bud has gone SO I DONT NO HOW TO CHANGE THE TOPIC FROM FROZEN GUY N GIRLS BUT SHE IS RUNNING THX AGAIN
December 6, 201014 yr Welcome, " we need more info ? does it turn over ? how old is the fuel ? is the battery Goosed " [ no matter if its been on charge] may not hold a charge, is it kept outside ? have you checked coolant lately ? , us air cooled boys have no probs with temperature
December 6, 201014 yr Its oil cooled so no it wont be frozen-more likely one of the safety switches i.e. kill switch or side stand switch, if your getting good dash lights then the battery is good enough to light bulbs, it might not be good enough to turn the starter, more description on sounds, lights fading etc-you shouldn't be on in this weather anyway-are you mentally mad ?
December 7, 201014 yr you shouldn't be on in this weather anyway-are you mentally mad ? Lies, LIES!!!! I'm riding quite happily in this.... well, as happy as I can be with frozen bits.
December 7, 201014 yr Author Lies, LIES!!!! I'm riding quite happily in this.... well, as happy as I can be with frozen bits. well it does not tick over not even a hind ,the bike is oiled cooled ,so am thinking that the battery is goosed ,plus if i try and put the in first gear she will not move into it well its -7c here in scotland no wonder the bloody thing wont go
December 7, 201014 yr Does the starter turn? Are you using full choke? Have you checked all the safety switches? Checked you're in Neutral and all that?
December 7, 201014 yr Author Does the starter turn? Are you using full choke? Have you checked all the safety switches? Checked you're in Neutral and all that? yes i have tryed all the switches buddy i think it could be the cold weather thats making it go nuts lol its even under a good cover in the hut i went to try it again 2day and the tank had frost on it ????the battery is 1 year old
December 7, 201014 yr Check the earth connections and the connection to the starter motor also, oh and try rocking it back and forward-it sounds like the clutch is stuck-did you leave it in gear?, is the neutral light on, and lastly-sit on it-flick the stand up and try it while holding the brake on-else ye might land in the garden
