uechi kid Posted Wednesday at 09:32 PM Posted Wednesday at 09:32 PM (edited) See below The last time I tried to start my 08 RSV it started but I accidentally flipped the on/off switch off then on real quickly. The bike died. When I went to start it again there was no power to the starter and the only dash lights that come on are the oil and temp lights. The checked the ignition fuse and it’s still good. That’s the limit of my diagnostic abilities so any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Rich I swear, sometimes I’m soooo stupid! I’m not a mechanic by any means, but I’ve been around vehicles my entire life and have done a lot of simple repairs to cars, bikes and trucks. But to not be able to figure out why I can’t start a bike that I put 65000 miles on, I replace the clutch, the stator, numerous tire changes, oil changes etc… only to find that it was in gear. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️, Edited Thursday at 12:32 AM by uechi kid

Marcarl Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago I remember the day, it was a grand day, that after having lunch with the bunch of us, we mounted up to take a ride,,, in Michigan,,, everybody was ready and mounted but one bike refused to start, just nothing. Shortly there were about 4 or 5 other riders giving instructions and helpful hints, fuel was double checked, oil sight glass confirmed, booster cables were added, battery voltage checked, kickstand confirmed,,,,, just nothing was going to get this 84 to fire. Young lady rider comes over finally, climbs on the bike and attempted to start,, which it very nicely did!!! Yep, it had to be in neutral!! Funny how that happens! 1
