Yes...that sounds exactly like what they'll do with a really weak battery. If yours is good, check your battery terminals and any other grounds....
Unless they were really tight. I don't think that's it though. Sometimes if I just hold the starter button down mine's the same way. Make sure...
Make sure you have positve battery voltage at the black/white wire connector in the ignition unit (unplug it and test harness) with the key on.
If you can't hear any difference when you're setting mixture screws it usually means one or more slow jet(s) are clogged, partially clogged,...
When you do the diode test on your R/R, you're only testing the rectifier part of it. AND, that test is notoriously unreliable. The diode tester...
Thanx for the update. UK VFR's must have the security system...HISS is it called? The only US bike it's been used on is the RUNE. When I've...
I've installed both time-sert and heli-coil. They both work. Time-serts are a bit more elaborate and probably better. BRP recommends time-serts...
You'd think so...but when several items share a ground and it's not a complete open circuit strange things can happen. For example, a few years...
Regarding the peak voltmeter...I don't think it's as simple as a correction chart. Note that in peak voltage testing there is no AC or DC. There...
Again...are you using a PEAK voltmeter? If not you can't trust your voltage probes...they tell you nothing. RU sure you have proper continuity...
If you're gonna use an O-ring type chain with a rivet type master link use the special tool to install the master or find someone that has one and...
There's nothing wrong with master links. You'll be fine if you use the master link that comes with your chain and install it properly. When I've...
I agree with Squirrelman. If it's temperature gauge hot that's pretty much all cooling system related. Spark plug heat range has more to do...
Troubleshooting ECU issues can be really tricky. Tests in the shop manual are using a PEAK voltmeter and it looks like they are carried out with...
Har...no, it only needs a battery and a tune-up.
