Put it in 5th gear, and roll it forward 6 or 8 feet in gear to move things around in the motor, and see if that helps.  |

Check all your connectors in the headlight bucket. One of mine had some very slight play in it -- so slight I could barely see it or feel it, and that was the cause.

Mine is doing similar. Cranks but no spark. Checked fuses, starter relay, battery, coils, connections, all good. Lights are strong. Have a dyna 3000, guess that's my next stop. Anyone have any thoughts? 
forgot to mention. when I was disconnecting battery, battery cable sparked against screwdriver. could I have shorted out dyna unit? |

We had a member with an issue like this a few months back, and it turned out to be the "pickup coil" inside the clutch cover. You can test for that. Clymers has the specifics. You might check under the left side cover. When it is removed, look towards the bottom, and you'll see a two wire connector that is attached to some wires coming out of the area of the clutch. You could disconnect this, and makes sure it looks clean and then reconnect it again. Those are the pickup coil wires. If their not making good contact, it'd mess with the rest.

Well folks I need some advice, once again my bike has started giving me problems again cranked it up rode out about 25 miles stopped, ate got back on it about 1hr later and push the start button nothin but a click then again and again then once more and it starts. Drove about 20 miles stopped for gas and bike would not crank back, the mileage lights went off and wouldn't come back up but still had headlights so I had to roll it off and it started but all the way home some of the guages never started working again. Parked Bike bout 10 mins went back out would not turn over but all guages up again. I think it's possesed ------- any more suggestions have a ride swcheduled for this weekend !
Thanks Steve
