I attempted to start it this morning to go to work, and there was a loud pop (same kind i get occasionally with downshifting now that i have these aftermarket pipes on it)

Now, she cranks but won't fire. Behaving almost like it does when you try to start a bike with the cutoff switch engaged.

I have a voltmeter, just not sure what to check or what values to look for. I don't have a service manual yet.

Could it be the cutoff switch? if so, how do i check it?

 

i bypassed mine when it started giving me **** why not try that? now my bike works fine i just have to drop the stand while in gear or turn the key to shut off, neither one is any harder than hitting the kill switch.

 

then again i had no "pop" so that might not be where you want to start. i would check fuses first. maybe your not getting spark. thats where i would start. the wire going to the coil from cylinder 2 is right by the battery mounted to the rear sub frame on the throttle side, use your voltmeter but i have no idea what values would work anything above nothing means move on IMO.

 

ill check fuses first. bypass the switch second.
Fakk. My corvette isnt running right now either so this is killing me.

 

Check the R/R and the main fuse... Both can make popping sounds when they fail...

 

Forgot to mention.... lights/etc still work.

Would that rule out the main fuse?

 

That it would... Doesn't rule out the R/R though...

 

Hmmm. OK. I downloaded the FSM, i'll check 'er tomorrow morning. Anything else i should check while im in there? bike has just about 7000 miles
