Slam Button

[Th3InfamousI]

I know the 117 is a big v-twin, but can you push start these big dogs like I watched others do with Harley's?

Seen it done, finding a hill and a few guy helps.

And putting it in third gear helps..

Anything can be done, just depends how much effort you want to put into it..

yeah that works if the rider is a heavier person and bounces when they drop the clutch..
Me , I just skid the tire....lol

It can be done, BUT I'll tell you, it's no fun, when the pusher, has a massive hang over.

Slam button for emergencies, bump start, in third, dump clutch and hit start button at same time to hit compression releases.

Ya, jump starting a bike with a couple of guys with hangovers is tough as we stumble and fall while pushing, bad scene and funny. The push button on the starter may be easier.

That's why you hit the start button, to trip the compression releases. Unplug your green starter wire and try it, 3rd gear, it'll start.

Ha ha, who helped me push start the blue Bigdog at the gas station on the way back from Gatortails at BB&B this yr? Yeah was not fun, but can be done!!

 

[Mr. Wright]

Wasn't me that time. Looked like you guys had it under control.

Not mine my compression releases are wired to 2 relays when the key is turned on

So dump clutch and turn key on.

if that's the case, what turns off the compression releases?

 

[Mr. Wright]

That's what I was thinking

Bigdog got me the diagram 1 relay turns them on and 1 turns them off after engine is started

well, mine (efi) is wired to the EHC and that's what's shown ion the 2008 Manual for both carb and efi.
I'd really love to see the wiring illustration they sent you -- very curious. Post it or send me a PM if you can, please.

 

[Mr. Wright]

It would only require 1 relay, in that case. Like Mike said, let's see the diagram. You have me curious too.

well I can understand 2 relays -- can easily use one to disconnect the power to the other.
One is triggered by key on, second would have to be triggered by a "signal/power source showing the engine is running." Much easier to wire with starter button!

But it wouldn't be the first time some one over engineered a simple problem, but in this case I don't know. Once you go from the EHC there is no need to use an off relay -- can easily be handled by the circuit without that.
