Default Need help bike wont start
I have a 99 RK and it wont start, if I turned on the switch on the tank I dont see the engine light turning on and I dont here the noise that usually stay for a few sec. (I think it's got something to do with the fuel). I used it last week no problem but now I cant start it, the engine doesn't even turn. My battery is fully charge and I checked the wire on the on/off switch in the handlebar and it's okay. Any suggestions. Thank you so much.

Check the cables on the battery. If I were a betting man I would put a chunk down that the problem is one of the battery connections.
Double or nothing its the black one.

Yup, I was really worried how much it will cost me when I bring it to HD dealership.
