Bike wont start and needs to be moved.

Scout16 · 06-23-2009, 06:05 PM

Well i took a buddy out to Emmet today to get my bike from the armory and i was gunna let him ride it to my house. well when we got there i stuck the key in and nothing happened. so ok first things first. kill switch is on the right position. still nothing. so then we hooked up some jumper cables to the battery after letting it charge still nothing. we sparked the cable off the motorcycle battery so im pretty sure its charged. so e checked fuel it had plenty of fuel. and there were no leaks of any kind. so my buddy tired to push start it. he would get the engine going for like 3 second and the gauges would like up and the lights would come on but then it would just quit and the light and gauges would turn off but the needles on the tach and speedo would just stay were they were at. well the two of us couldnt get it home. so if anybody is free tomorrow i would really use some help load my bike in my truck. we also need a ramp if any bodies got one. i was thinking we could meet at my house and drive out tommorow in my truck. or any other ideas would be helpful.

What time you thinking of going?? If your able to wait until early afternoon I could go with you and help load it. As for it not starting is your blinker fluid topped off?? and when was the last time you lubricated your muffler bearing?? Ah well we'll just play with it tomorrow before we load it.

if you got a trailer that would be a hell of alot easier than trying to load a bike into a fullsize tundra
