I brought the bike home yesterday and it ran fine. I went to start my bike today, the lights went on when I turned on the ignition, and nothing when I hit the start. I tried the kick start and has compression, no start.
I charged the battery and still nothing, I checked the connections under the set in the wiring harness (connections from the tail light and rear turn signals) and lone behold it started.... so off I went on a rip (bad idea.)
I then ran out of gas, tried to turn it to reserve on the petcock and it didn't work! while coasting i jump started the bike, it went a bit further.
-So I suspect there is a short in a ground or a connection in the wiring harness; and
-I need to rebuild my petcock.
I'm in need of trouble shooting ideas for finding the starting issue with my electric start?
