Houston Help...

« on: April 19, 2014, 09:05:57 PM »

Houston folks, I have been struggling with an issue starting my bike for some time now. While an ankle injury has kept me from working on or riding the bike for a few months, I am stumped. I have had advice from the Tech board here and have tried a new battery, but the ol' steed won't start for some reason. I don't have a trailer or method of taking the bike to a shop to get properly looked at. Anyone willing to help me load it up and drag it to a shop in exchange for a meal? I don't even know who is lurking on this local board anymore, but it would be nice to catch up with some of the old crew. Any new advice on what could be wrong would be helpful also. Hope everyone is doing well!

Doing well here in San Antonio. I still check this board regularly. Unfortunately since I am in SA I probably can't be much assistance from here, also I am not that technically inclined when it comes to motorcycle engines. I wish you luck. get well soon!

Tons of collective knowledge on the main board. Maybe you can solve it by posting on that board. More info needed on what happens when you try to start it...

The Tech Board has been very helpful. Already been down the road with everything suggested there. I probably just need someone with a trailer to help me get it to a professional...

Dom, do you still live in the same house? If so you could wheel it over to Andi down back streets. I know that's not ideal, but it could work. If you're still having the issue I could likely help arrange a lift in my buddy's pickup but you'll need a good ramp.

Hey Dom, I know this is super late, but did you figure this out? (haven't checked the boards in a LONG while.
