You will have to cut or replace the line and re connect the hose clamp.

Sounds like the starter, but lets check some things out ok! Usually when a stater makes that clicking noise it means there is some thing wrong with the starter, some times its the spring that engages the starter gear. First I would check the power going to the starter. Using either a test light or an ohm meter check that power is reaching the starter, now you can do this by checking the power wire on the starter while the start button is pushed. If there is power going to the starter then you know it is the starter, If no power getting there than check for in line fuses or possible relays! But my guess is that you are getting power and the starter is malfunctioning! In which case you will need to remove the starter and rebuild or replace. There is a crude procedure you can try if you'd like sometimes the starter spring sticks down after sitting, if you tap the starter on the housing some times it will free up and once the bike is running the heat will straiten it out! good luck if you have further questions please feel free to ask!

remove the seat and side covers and it will be there

Its most likely from spilling fuel on the paint. Try to let the fuel nozzle quit dripping inside the tank and use your hand or a rag so none drips on the paint when you remove the nozzle.

If it has dirt stuck in the needle and seat try tapping on the carb with a screwdriver handle. If that doesn't work shut off the fuel and run the bike until the carb runs out of gas. Then turn the gas back on and start it back up. That should loosen the dirt. Last resort, take apart the carb and clean it out.

i can give you a little help, the rectifier is part of the charging system. it converts110volt from your alt. to 12 volts. it sounds like you have covered all the ign. possibiltys look for something simple ,like bad connections broken wires ect.

you need a new battery. the current one is no longer capable of holding a charge or storing energy.

when you do buy one, remember to top charge it off the bike, then install it.

HELLO THIS IS AN EASY ONE.

FIRST
****CAUTION**** IF IT IS FLODDING GAS OUT OF IF.THE GAS CAN ALSO BE GOING INTO YOUR AIR BOX.IF THE BIKE BACK FIRES IT WILL IGNIGHT THE OLD FUEL THAT HAS CLOECTED IN THE AIR BOX AND YOU COULD LOSE YOUR BIKE BE CAREFULL AND KEEP CHECK ON THE AIR BOX AND FILTER DURING THE INTIRE PROCCES

WELL TO ANSWER .YOUR CARBS ARE VARNISHED UP.THIS IS CAUSED FROM THE BIKE SETTING FOR SO LONG.THE LEAKING GAS IS FROM THE FLOATS NOT BEING ABLE TO FLOAT BECAUSE OF THE VARNISHING.AND OF COURSE THE NEDDLE VAVLE IS STUCK(THAT IS WHAT SHUTS THE FUEL OF INSIDE THE CARBS)

YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE THEM APART AND CLEN THEM VERY GOOD,AND THIS IS GOING TO BE QUITE A JOB ON THIS BIKE.

IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO SHOP IT WOULD BE EASYER FOR YOU.;HOWEVER A GOOD GUESS AT THE PRICE TO DO THIS ,I WOULD SAY AT THE DEALER YOU MAY BE LOOKING AT 300.00 DOLLARS ARE MORE DEPENDING ON THE DAMAGE.

OH I ALMOST FORGOT.YOU WILL HAVE TO CLEAN THE TANK OUT OF THE OLD FUEL AND MAYBE THE VARNISHING.AND I DONT KNOW IF THIS BIKE HAS A FUEL PUMP ARE IF IT GRAVITY FEED .YOU MAY HAVE TO CLEAN OUT THE PUMP IF IT HAS ONE AS I SAID I DONT KNOW ON THIS BIKE.AND THE PETCOCK VALVE(FUEL ON AND OF VAVLE) MAY ALSO NEED TO BE LOOKED AT

HOPE THIS HELP AND AGAIN REMEBER ABOUT THE AIR BOX I HAVE SEEN SOME NICE BIKES BURT FROM THIS.
