Does anybody know of a good troubleshooting forum site?
OR
Can someone help diagnose my problem?
Problem: Bike won't start. I hear the spark plugs firing, but it wont "fire up." However, before I start my bike, after I turn the kill switch to run and turn the key to on, I usually hear a noise for about 3 seconds. I believe this is the fuel pump gearing up, but I could be mistaken. Then, I usually hit the ignition switch and the bike starts to run. Now, I don't hear that initial noise of the fuel pump or whatever it is before I try to start the bike. Does anybody have an idea of what could be wrong?
Background: I replaced my spark plugs a couple days ago. Then, started the bike up. It ran fine. The next day I replaced my oil (i've have done this 5 times now) and replaced my coolant (first time I did this). After replacing both fluids, I tried to start the bike so that I could refill the fluid levels, but it wouldn't start. Also, my front cowl was disconnected from the harness at first start try. I tried reconnecting it and starting again, but it made no difference.
Thanks,
AJ

my guess is to try to heat it up real well with a propane torch first. just shy of that i am not sure there is much you can do.

Agreed...sounds like great advice, but make sure you have bologna in your shoes first, otherwise you won't get enough syrup on the pancakes.

have you checked the fuses yet? The noise you hear is indeed the fuel pump priming itself.
