I FILLED THE LOWER COOLANT RES. STARTED AND SHUT DOWN AFTER A MIN. THEN I FOUND THE RADIATOR CAP , FILLED IT AND NOW THE ENGINE WILL NOT START. IS THERE A RESET?
Make sure all electrical connections under tank are tight,one loose one can keep it from starting.bike and motor are tough and reliable,most problems are simple to fix.(once found)
SOURCE: '04 volusia still shutting down
I would recomend checking to be sure the fuel and vacum lines n the tank are installed correctly, Open the fuel filler and start the bike and see if it has any change on the problem, if so you have a vacum issue.
SOURCE: the bike hasnt been started in a few months. i go
hey check your injectors sparkplugs and see if you coil is still good, when bikes sit a whiole they develope cloged injecters fpuled spark plugs and depending on where it was stored corodided coil. your gass can get stail too do change that and as for the injector cleaner thats a great ideal if that doesnt work try replacing injectors, you also may no be geting anough fuel does it look lean clear white smoke would be comming out, thats a indecation its either injectors or you can have a faulty relay or something wromng with the fuel pump
SOURCE: bike runs bout 15 min then gauges dim and bike dies
i am having the same prob with my bike. when i ride it , a short time later the gauges dim and it dies shortly after. but bikes dont have alternators "mate" they have stators. there are 3 things in your charging system... battery, stator, and reclifier. if your battery is good i would take your bike and have the stator and redlifier tested. but i replaced all three and mine is still doing that so i thing my negative battery cable is shorting somewhere. charge ur battery and then test the volts on it it should be around 12.6v, and then disconecct ur negative cable from ur battery and wrap it up so it cant touch anything and come bak the next day and test ur battery again. if ur volts dropped thats ur problem
SOURCE: starts runs for about 1
Fuel restriction, undo the drain screws in the lower of each carb float bowl, allow old fuel to drain out, it may be the float needles are stuck thus preventing the fuel from flowing freely into the carbs, check fuel flows from fuel tap removing the fuel pipe and turning the tap to prime position will allow fuel out of the tank without the need to run the engine. It may be you have to remove the carbs for overall including cleaning all the jets etc. Hope this helps,
