Answer This Question
  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    Have you tried pushing and popping the clutch?

    Did you try starter fluid?

    Does it crank, click, or nothing when trying to start?

    Do you have a voltmeter? Are you getting power to the starter button? Is the kill switch engaged? Is the sidestand down and the bike in gear?

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, determine if there is a clicking sound when the START button is pressed. The click is significant. If there is, this indicates that the starting relay is engaging but for some reason, the starter motor is not cranking. This could either indicate a faulty starter relay (particularly the contacts) or a faulty starter motor (specifically, the carbon brushes). To determine which:

  • with the side covers off, expose the starter relay particularly the 2 large terminals;
  • have somebody start the bike normally using the key and button start switch;
  • determine if indeed the clicking is coming from the starter relay;
  • while the start button is still pressed, jump the 2 big terminals;
  • if the engine cranks, then the internal contacts of the starter relay are corroded or burned;
  • if the engine will not crank, then the starter motor is faulty.
If there is no click, you may want to check the alarm/security/immobilizer if your bike is so equipped. others to check would be side stand switch, clutch switch and neutral light indicator.

Good luck and thank you for using FixYa.

Why after 2 months of sitting and a new battery is my choke stuck bike wont idel down
Many bikes have CV (constant velocity) carbs, and so have an enriching valve and not really a choke. The enricher just adds more fuel to the mixture.
The high idle could be a vacuum leak at the base of the carburetor. You can check for a leak with a can of carburetor cleaner.
Start the bike up and spray a short burst of the cleaner at the base of the carburetor if you get a change in RPM or if it stalls that's the problem.
Good Luck

While loading my 2003 suzuki VL 800 Volusia onto the bed of a pickup truck, I took a bad step and we all lost control of the bike. It fell off the ramp and landed on the handlebar. Now the electronics do...
Hi. Most likely, when your bike spilled the air filter loaded with oil. Check the filter. If it is oiled up replace it with a new one. J.

Can a voltage regulator/rectifier if not working properly blow the main fuse. I have a 2002 v-star 1100. I was riding when all of a sudden the bike died on me. I lost all power no light, turn signals,...
YES!
Good link here:
http://www.flygenring.dk/yamaha/artikler/1100ChargingSystem.pdf

Symptoms:
Lights flickering at times and/or battery gets hot to the touch

Problem:
Reglator/Rectifier

When the regulator dies, it allows as much as 19 volts to appear across the battery. This is not good. It will cook the battery and the battery could even explode. Fuse can not stand up to this!
