Hello friends,
Saturday, I when to get my bike out of storage. It is a 2009 Canadian model of course with 16400 km. It was stored at a dealer, heated and dry storage with battery tender. The bike had an oil change performed before I picked it up. I rode it home and proceed to replace the air filter as well as to install the new to me vStream windshield I purchased from a forum member over the winter. Windshield replace was supper easy and smooth. Air filter replacement was more difficult! The wire harness always seemed to be in the ... but I did get it done. I was about to put the side panel back on when I noticed that a rubber hose from under the gas tank was unplugged. With a pair a needle nose pliers ... and my long skinny fingers, I was able to get it back in place. I did not think I had pulled that out during the air filter replacement ... but I must have. Put everything back together and voted against a ride since I had another activity coming up.
This Monday morning -3 deg C, I wanted to ride the bike to work! Guess what, it will into start! The engine turns over fine! Yes the KILL switch is in the on position! I tried a minute before switching to the car. I must suspect that I unplugged something electrical. I will have a look under the seat and side panel when I get a chance!
But does anyone have suggestion or a clue as too what I might have done wrong?
Thanks! Rheal
