QuestionHi Mark,
Unfortunatly my bike was recently dropped, on the side with the exaust pipe. To my surprise it had only a scratch on the body, and a broken mirror.
The problem is that it no longer starts. The electrical components seem to operate, when it is on "on", but when I use the starter, there is only some "ticking" feedback coming from under the seat. And in doing this, it seems to drain the power. My guess is either an ignition coil problem, or a fuse.
What do you think about this?
AnswerHi John,
I suspect a loose battery lead connection.
It's possible that the battery was damaged by the shock of impact with the ground.
Otherwise, check all electircal connections for clean, tightly connected connections.
Check the spark plugs for fouling, too. Clean or replace accordingly.
Respectfully,
Mark Shively
