lexxus Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 I rode my 99 bird home wednesday nite ,i went into the house to get car keys, to put bike in front of my car",i hit the start button! cranking over but not starting, so i just covered it up went in for the nite," in the morning , i got on the bike, togo get gas.the bike started know problem. but 2miles down the road the bike stalled in the fast lane so had to coast to the side of the road,cound"nt get it started. a friend came to pick the bike up with his trailer,so we got it home. so i check the fuses, all were good. lifted the fuel tank, to check the wires on fuel pump. they are good but cleaned them anyway. checked all the wires, in the bunch under the tank. no loose ones found. then i checked the on/off switch, i giggled it and heard" the fuel pump come on, and then the fi light went off. so i started the bike!"with the on/off switch loosen from the bar's. the bike was running fine, for the warm up period. so i cut it off, by the switch, and tried to restart it.didnot start nor did i hear the pump come on. so i wiggled the on/off switch ,and then heard the fuel pump come on again. but this time, the fi light is not going out. and the bike wouldnot start. when i pushed the stop button off, the bike wanted to start in the off mode. then it back fired doing this.i put the switch back together,now i can turn it on and off, and hear the fuel pump working.but now, the fi light stays on and the bike will not start.can it be the switch? pump or both? the fuel pump comes on, every time i hit the switch now.but the bike will not start!and the fi light stays on. hmmm (oh can you bypass the starter button?)

UncleJake Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 words Man, I'd love to try and help, but I just can't read this shit. Punctuation counts, even on the internet. :poke: -UJ Quote
beondwacko Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 It sounds like a bad switch. Anyone with a wiring diagram out the who can help ? I can't swear to it , but , I think I remember ( when I was installing the kill switch lanyard for the track ) that there is more than just 2 wires that are connected to that switch. If it turns out to be the switch , search around on Ebay for another. They are on there fairly often. Quote
