Hello All,
I got the above motorcycle from an old friend that parked it up for seven years...with gas in it. I've got the tank off and I'm resealing it. I put a fresh battery in it, turned the key, all the dash lights flashed, and that's all. With the bike off it's center stand and on the kick stand, i can get more life out of it, mainly by holding the start button down while turning the key on/off/on in neutral. The starter solenoid makes that loud "click" sound and once actually turned the engine over a few times. The engine is free ( I checked before trying to turn it over on the starter )
A friend suggested changing the kick stand switch, which I'll do. Any of you guys have any other suggestions ? The bike is untouched, apart from what I've done. My buddy completed his last 14k mile trip, parked it up in his car port and hit the local Irish bar, and has pretty much styed there ever since.
Any help / pointers much appreciated.
