blackhat250 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkwindjammer Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 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 ?

barkwindjammer Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
