#488169 djsmithcad2005 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 cut off and will not start 1 Year ago   My dad started his bike to warm it up. It started fine ran normally. He walked away from it to do something in his shop, while in the shop he heard a squeak than it killed. He tried to start it and it will not turn over. After looking over a few things he checked the oil and is was above the fill line (higher then where it was after the last oil change). Good battery, turn on key, fuel pump runs, hit the start button, starter in gages but will not turn over. Any clue as to what may be the problem?

BUT they do have a recall for the tranny problem. Contact a dealer and give them the vin number and they can tell you if the recall has been done. Most guys have the oil pump gear changed when the tranny recall is done.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #488182 djsmithcad2005 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Re:cut off and will not start 1 Year ago   It is an 03.

Check around the vin# and see if there are any center punch marks, some dealers mark them when they do it. bill   Logged     110 cu in., PR/JE 10.25:1 HC pistons, PR Cam, PR adjustable push rods, PR stage II ported heads (2mm oversize valves)   The administrator has disabled public write access. #488184 hardone2get (User) Who care's what you ride!

If so you need to see if you can manualy turn the motor over by turning the rear wheel while in gear on a jack. I would pull the plugs first to make sure there is no compression on the motor, your only trying to see if the motor will spin over. Once you have done that then come back and we can go from there. If the motor has been over filled with to much oil it could be locked up. Removing the plugs will allow air space for the motor.

That's unfortunate the only other suggestion I would have would be to take the transfer case out of the equasion, by removing the cover and taking the chain off. Then remove the clutch cover and see if you can turn the motor over from there. If the motor is locked up then something interially let go and is binding. You could also pull the cam cover on the right side and look for something broken there but alot of these things unless your willing to tear the motor down and do the repair, you might as well take it to a shop. I would not suggest a dealer unless you have a real real good one, I would look for an indenpent shop that works on V-twins.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
