Is the round red light close to the center of your speedometer coming on?

Fuel pak (v&h?) May be the cause of your problem, is it correctly set up, did you add it, why did you add it, did you change exhaust pipes or air cleaner?

I'd be tempted to throw a coil at it, but that could also be a wild shot in the dark. If it turns over not the kill switch or any of that stuff. Either not getting fuel or spark.

If it happened at home you could squirt some gas in . Though it sounds like if you wait a minute it may start on its own anyways. But doesn't sound like coil.

Could try wiggling stuff when it is running, befcareful not to get zapped from the coil. That is how I fiugred out my coil wires were getting old.


I am leaning towards electrical, but that sure doesn't narrow it down.

It could be a bunch of different things. Run the onboard diagnostics and see if it is throwing any codes. (In my case it was the engine temperature sensor.)

My newest bike is an 07. Do you have to run a check??? Doesn't it throw a code, and then you check to see what it is?
