*$^%^&*$ KAWASAKI Beer Can
I live in the rain capitol of the USA and today we have total sun and t-shirt weather. We out to ride the 2009 that has 5 miles on it. Won't start - been in to the dealers twice.
I did all the tricks on the forum here - nothing!! Pulled the plug and it is a bit wet. Replaced plug and let it sit. Tried every starting configuration and now the battery is toast. Is there a better spark plug that I could try - I don't know where else to go and the dealer is a long days drive. Rik |
double check that your kill switch is not pushed in.
|
The batterys in these bikes run down quick, but will come back if charged.
|
It's a pain in the butt, but remove seat, remove airbox lid, remove filter, spray a TINY shot of starting fluid into the air intake and your bike SHOULD start. This is a TEMPORARY fix only! AND. . . make certain that the bike WILL start normally once it has warmed up. You don't want to have to rely on this method! You have a kill switch/choke/jetting/spark or slow cranking problem. . . .

Carb overflow hoses unblocked?
|
could be the kickstand safety switch or clutch safety switch.
|
After re-charging the battery still no start. Re-charged the battery fully and nothing.
Soooooo I put the bike on a 12 amp charger/booster and it roared to life. So what is this?? |
could be just a weak battery but it could also be a weak coil or bad stator. I think Tremor is the electrical guy. He knows more than most of us when it come to electrical stuff.

Rik Edit: nevermind, you got it started with a stronger battery...kill switches are evidenlty not the problem. |
