    Hello All,

    I was riding on Monday, nice long ride, parked the bike. Went to get back on and no she wouldn't even turn over or come close...just a simple "click". I have had no issues with it starting before or any other problems

    battery is fine, lights work, horn works....

    Just a click when I hit the start.

    Someone suggested a loose wire?

    Any help is very much appreciated because if it is something simple I can get to myself and reconnect a wire I'd love to get back on her today!

    many thanks in advance

    MY wife was having that same problem with her bike (same as yours). She would call me when she went anywere because she could not get it started. I'd get there put up the kick stand, set the kill switch, pull in the clutch, put it in nutral and it would start for me every time.

    She was thinking the kill switch should show the white bar (I think it used to be red but not sure) . On her bike I found that it would not start until the clutch was pulled in at least once even if it was already in nutral, kick stand up and the kill switch set to run.
