givin up that quick?pull your connector to the ehc make sure no moister and fill it with die electric grease.i just replaced my right hand control board,the brake wire wore through some time ago and was shutn the bike off but would restart.i just cut the wire back then and just got around to fixn it.you also said no fire,do you mean no fire to the plugs?

YEa, It turns over but wont start.. Sounds like it want 2 but seems to not be getting any spark.. I have no clue. This is my first Big boys bike so I am not to sure about it. I just hope they can find the problem!! Can they hook the computer up to find it?? How do they trouble shoot it if it dont happen to them??


Thanks!!!

The Clutch cable is worn down the frame where it is moused. I wonder if that would shut it down??

 

[mobsta]

no the clutch cable wouldnt do that.if it turns overand no start,pull the plugsand check for spark to the plugs,if there is no spark could be the cam sensor.make sure the petcock is open,just sayn

 

[mobsta]

your not using the enricher are you?

 

[USCG23]

THanks 2 you all!! I had the bike out yesterday to Ride to Big Dog of Tampa and the thing Cut out 1 mile from my house and it is a 1 hour ride to Tampa. Pulled over to a jiffey lube and borrowed some tools. My buddy had a 06 ridged and he went to get that di-electric grease. I greased the hell out of the ground that was smoking on the battery and I rode all day with the bike running like a top... When we were cranking it the ground was smoking??? n Is that normal or do you think that grease could have fixed the problem??


Thanks again!!!!

Thanks again!!!!

The dielectric grease is an insulator and also helps disperse heat.
But I'd remove the grease and clean the hell out of the battery terminals and "both" ends of each cable. Then just add a light film of the dielectric grease afterwards. :2thumbs:

Thanks, I rode all day yesterday, so I hop that was the problem.. Was starting and running better that ever.. The connections are very clean . Lokks like just to many thing hooked up there..

Mob, I think I have it narrowed down. I replace the battery and the bike fires great. I stopped to get fuel and the bike would crank just no spark like the off button was stuck on. I kept hitting the handlebars then hit run and nothing... So I looked at the key to make sure it was on and it was. I hit run again and wouldnt even crank. Then I pushed off and then run again and it fired right up/. I think the switch is bad in the bars? Is it a hard job? Dou u think that is the problem??


Thanks Nick

 

[mobsta]

yes it could be the board or just a loose connection.it is not a hard job but like i said becareful.if your not comfortable doing this you should have someone else do it.dont lose any parts.like said watch the wire for the brake switch and if you take it all the way apart watch the throttle cable furrels dont lose them.mobsta

 

[mobsta]

when you say you have no spark are you checking for spark at the plugs or just assuming?if the stop button was stuck the bike shouldnt crank.just sayn

 

[USCG23]

Thanks Mobsta!! I thought it would still turn over but just would not fire.. What could it be then?? ANy Ideas????

 

[USCG23]

Oh SHit , I am a DUMBASS!!! It wouldnt turn over!! What the fuk could it be then?? The plugs?? Cam sensor??? I have no clue now!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[mobsta]

i would still check the board connection,did you ever pull the connector off the ehc and fill it with grease?if it were the cam sensor i would think the bike wold have to sit and kool for a bit,however there has been some problems with the cam sensor.

 

[mobsta]

the plugs would not stop it from cranking.

 

[mobsta]

oh could you keep this on one thread please?your asking the same questions on more than one and it gets confusing,i am a simple minded guy
