    Well. Feel free to call me stupid. I believe that belongs to the dyno jet power commander. I’ll find out in a minute

    Bike won’t start

    So, I put her up on the center stand. I accidentally bumped the shifter so the neutral light was off. Pushed it down into first then back to neutral and guess what. She fired without WOT. Ran until warm and shut down on her own. WTH? I’m real confused now. Could it be that the battery was too...

    Actually, I did smell gas (faint) on my last attempt to start it. I’ll be going out to try again shortly and I hope she fires right up 🤞

    Crank for 60 seconds? I can’t imagine that’s gonna be good for the starter. I’ll go out in a minute and give it a 30 second spin and report back. I opened the gas cap and I don’t think the fuel is stale. Unless it can go stale and still smell fresh.

    Bike won’t start

    No fuel smell, no sputtering or sign of trying to start. I’m guessing but the longest I cranked it was probably 15 seconds. I figured any longer and I might need a new starter. Filled the tank when I parked it in October. No stabilizer. No climate control. Gas cap closed. Mouth in proper...

    Bike won’t start

    Yep, I searched and thought I found the answer. WOT and crank until it starts. Didn’t work. Here’s the scoop: bike was running fine when I parked it in my storage shed and removed the battery. I did not warm it up. Just started It, rode it to the shed and turned it off. Battery has plenty...
