hey guys, so I too apart some electrial last year when i was changing my handlebars, the bike started fine after the mod. I dont kow what went wrong but here's my scenerario now...
I push the electric start button and nothing happens unless I open the throttle alittle. Then it will try to crank over but it doesnt seem like Im getting any spark to the plugs. I took out the plugs held them to the block...no spark...
What could be wrong?

Better check your rewire to insure you haven't chafed a prime wire...and a look in the headlight bucket is probably in order, too, since so many connections are in there.

Definitely check the wires in/around the throttle housing, and make sure there are no wires around the throttle arms in the carb area.

I went through something similar.
Sometimes it would act like the kill switch was off.
Problem came and went as the bars were turned.
It turned out to be the harness side pin of the kill switch feed at the connector in the headlight bucket - loose in the connector.
Pull it back (out) - dead.
Push it in - ok.
The circuit next to it was tight in the connector, so I zip tied the loose one to it.
So far, so good.

HmmmOk i'll check those things out...If this seems to be way over my head...and I cant figure it out. Since it's electrical and nothing seriously mechanically wrong, how much could a shop charge me to fix it?? I mean i know this is a vague question with lots of variables...but I mean would a shop figure it out simple.
Is there a way to get rid of that whole kill switch system so I dont have to worry about it?
Any help? Thank you
