Percaline Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 Hi, I took out the carbs when I had starting issues in the summer. It all went back together last week and started. Yippee I thought. I fixed it. So I replaced the stock handlebars. I didn't get a chance to test it again as I have been away for a few days. We got back today and the bike will not start. Not even a hint. I changed the plugs. Charged the battery. Checked for a spark. I measured the ohm resistance on the secondary windings. The middle coil is brand new and I got 10.88 k ohms on that one. The other two gave me 8.81 k ohm, which is a little low according to Haynes, but as they are both the same it seems not to be a smoking gun. I would be thinking Id messed up the carbs, but the bike started well after I reassembled it last week. When I turn the fuel tap on i can hear it gurgling into the carbs. Is there anything I could have done wrong in changing out the handlebars? The bike turns over, but just does not start. Maybe the kick stand sensor is busted..? I have not checked the wiring but the telescopic button looks ok. I will take a closer look at that tomorrow. This is incredibly frustrating. After weeks of work I thought I was getting my bike back. Any suggestions most welcome. Quote
RideWithStyles Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 Have you connected/damaged the kill switch m/wiring? or even the possibility of ignition switch? Quote
Hairsy Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 Based on your timeline, I’d start by checking the continuity of all the circuits around the handlebars. Ignition, kill switch, clutch switch particularly. Alarm / immobiliser if you have one. Quote
