Bike turns over but will not start - 1997 Yamaha XV 535 Virago DX

Duplicate question already answered

if the bike is not turning over check battery and starter if bike is turning over check compression make sure its getting spark and make sure its getting gas somettimes to the key switch will go bad or ur kill switch is turned of or not working

sorry didn't actually see the post before my first comment, if it is only when the bike is warm or hot but not over heated I would suspect the same thing, faulty starter. "replace or rebuild"

Plug fouling is a common issue when the bike is started and turned off before reaching operating temperature. This often happens when people start the bike to hear the exhaust and then turn it off after revving it a few times. The easy solution is to ride more. Never start the bike unless you are actually going to ride it, and avoid short trips which do not allow the bike to warm up and recharge the battery.

You dont say what bike this is, most modern bikes wont start if the neutrol light does not work, this is safety feture to stop you starting the bike in gear, does the bike turn over ok or not? Does the bike have the gearing selection reversed as with rear sets in track mode as the gears are reversed, and neutrol would be 1 down from the top

some bikes have a clutch switch where you have to pull the clutch in to start it, i know a lot of suzuki's have them.
also make sure it is in neutral.
and make sure the 'kill switch; on the right hand bar is set to 'run'

BAD STARTER SWITCH

first make sure bike is in upright position then turn key off then back on and try to start the bike. sometimes you have to turn the key on,off,on,off,on and start the bike. this will reset you tilt sensor ( properly known as lean angle sensor). if the bike still doesn't start you probably need a new tilt sensor unless you bypass it.

hi friend,
Step 1
Move switch to ON positionLocate your dirt bikes OFF/ON, RUN/OFF, or START Switch. Use your finger to move the switch to the RUN, ON, or START position.

Step 2 Turn fuel switch ONLook on the side of your dirt bike near the engine and locate the "FUEL ON/OFF" switch. Use your finger to move the lever to the "ON" position. Your dirt bike will not start if the fuel is turned off. This off switch helps prevent fuel leaks when your dirt bike is stored.

Step 3 Turn choke ONIf your dirt bike engine isn’t warm, you will need to turn the choke on to start the bike. Locate the choke lever near the engine on the side of your dirt bike, probably not far from the "FUEL ON/OFF" switch. Use your finger to move the choke lever to the on position. Once your dirt bike has started and the engine has warmed up, you will need to move the choke lever to the "off" position.

Step 4 Foot on kick start pegBend your knee and place your foot on the kick start peg while leaning your weight on your other foot. Stand slightly and push the kick starter all the way down with as much force as you can.

Step 5 Push all the way downIf the bike doesn't start after the first attempt to kick start it, try again. Remember to push the peg as far down as it will go with as much of your weight as possible.

jQuery('.article ol .image').each(function(i,e){ var $this = jQuery(this); $this.find('img').error(function(){ jQuery(this).remove(); $this.remove(); }); }); Tips & Warnings

• If your dirt bike has a four-stroke compression engine and won't start, release the compression valve and try starting it again.
• Sometimes, the engine remains in a compressed position and cannot turnover until the pressure is released.
• If your dirt bike is equipped with an electric-starter, but won't start, you can follow these steps and kick start it.
• Remember: always wear safety equipment when operating a dirt bike or ATV.
• You should at least wear a helmet, boots that cover your ankles, and a chest protector to avoid serious injury.
• Always supervise children when operating motor vehicles.

Hello,


Try to unscrew the sparkplug and place the edge of it against the moto exterior cilinder, start the bike see if it sparks, if not you have to check the electric CDA of the bike.

Hope that helps.
