THe fuel shut off valve is also called the "petcock" it should be located on the side of the gas tank on the very bottom. I think it is on the right hand side. Look for the fuel line that goes to the fuel system and you should be able to trace it to the shut off valve. It should have 3 positions, ON / OFF / RESERVE

If your battery is fully recharged and you have it connected properly, you have a bad switch.

Odds are good the battery is not connected, or dead. Draining a battery completely often kills it for good.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Appreciate the direct "Ask Me".

To your concern, I am assuming you are referring to the plastic insert/tube over the cable. The plastic serves two purposes; 1st to ensure that the cable does not rub against the metal ends of the cable housing and 2nd, to reduce built-up of corrosion/oxidation on the cable. This is because of different types of metals are in contact with one another and are exposed to the elements. Simply put, the plastic serves as a sacrificial material, rather it be damaged than the cable.

There are also plastic inserts in some models over the nipple, the end of the cable. This serves as a spacer when the nipple is inserted on the slot/hole of the clutch lever.

I am also curious why your bike will not start and could only think of the clutch engaged switch. Pls check if the new clutch lever is reaching/engaging this switch. Although this of course does not have an effect as long as you start in neutral. Any other indicators when you press on the START button? A clicking sound?

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

It took me over an hour to find this information... Hope you enjoy it!

Check your injectors man... Sounds like you have a nasty clog... Other than that the only thing I can guess would have to do with this would be check the fuel lines the spark plugs and fuel pump... If nothing is wrong your best bet would be getting it to a shop...

What do you mean you cant get the front end off the ground? As in wheelie? Sounds to me like you might be abusing your 12 year old motorcyle - not allowing it warm properly - making excessive demands on the power plant and frame while also endangering yourself and others around you. Im not making a lot of sense of your question. You will pay ao lot of money for a replacemeent engine, to rebuild yours will also be a lot of money. After you are done with that investment (probably at least 1/2 the price of a new bike) you will still have a 12 year old bike. If I am understancing the ins and outs of your question, neither option seems like a good investment.

What is roough?

PULL IT ALL DOWN AND TRY PUSHING IT AGAIN, SEE WHERE THE PRESSURE IS, Noit sure what the soloution is mate, but might need a strip down on the clutch cover side as well, oil drained and have a look whats going on.

there is a oil seal behind the front sprocket that may be damaged.Also the case may be crack due to chaine impact. This type of damage is common when chaine is not kept to spec..If case are crack you can repair with jb weld no oil pressure at this location. Have to be clean and scuff for product to work properly.Mr cee's cycle Repair.

There ain't no cure for lack of good sense.

In the tank. Fuel injection does not run inline filters

You may have some bulbs with burned out filaments, Or the bulbs may not be in correctly. Pry off the lens cover with a dime and inspect the bulbs. Make sure they have two filaments. If one filament is broken, replace it with a new bulb. Bulb #1157

That could be fuel related or electrical related. Without more details its hard to give advice. If you have an aftermarket fuel controller dis-connect it and use the factory controller. If that fixes it your controller has a problem. If you have a factory controller it may also have failed. Could also be a fuel pressure issue, bad pump. Best the have the dealer pull the codes to find out exactly what has failed.

put it in dealer mode and find out what the F1 light code gives

find the OEM part number for your clutch plates (theyre differsnt ones for 3 or 4 of the plates you can buy seperate or a pack for your year and model). Go to a parts fiche site to see what other makes and models are compatable with your part numbers. I use ronayers.com
