Springer classic clicks when trying to start

Make sure the battery is fully charged. Contrary to what some people will tell you, Harley batteries are not fully charged when shipped to dealerships. I work at a dealership and it normally takes a full 8 hour shift to charge a new battery that fits your bike. The clicking sound in normally caused by a low battery. Good luck!

How to store your motorcycle for winter. Storing your motorcycle.

As the summer months start to come in, we all like to get our motorcycles out and start riding them, but i hear a lot of people saying help, my bike wont start! That is because when you last parked it in the shed for the start of winter, then you made no preparations. With a few simple steps, next summer, you can get your bike out, and fire it up without any problems, ready to ride. There are things you must do when you go into storage, and a few things to do when you bring your bike out.
OK,so winter is approaching, and you want to put your bike away in the shed.
First thing you need to do is drain some fluids. Drain your engine oil. Then drain your gas tank and carburetors. It is important to drain the carbys, as the fuel left in the float bowl will go bad. You can choose to totally drain your gas tank, or fill it to the top with gas. Storing a tank full with gas, leaves no room for moisture to form, causing rust on the inside of steel tanks. Next, you need to also disconnect one lead from your battery, or even better, if you have a trickle charger hooked up to it. Thats about it really. Also,if you are confident in doing so, remove spark plug, or plugs, and spray some penetrating oil down into each cylinder, turn engine over to work it through. This will prevent any moisture or corrosion from forming on the inside of your cylinders. It is also a good idea to clean or replace your spark plugs each year anyway.
Now it's summer, and you want to ride, just roll your bike out. Put in some fresh engine oil, a fresh tank of gas, and a fully charged battery, you are ready to go!

Battery spark at terminals

ok, first check you battery is actually maintain a good charge while your cranking the engine. If voltage drops below 10v your battery (Although appears fine while sitting) May not be any good when current is being drawn from it.

Its quite normal to see a small spark when connecting up a battery with voltage in it. If there were a short at the battery terminals you'd be blowing 30amp main fuse all day long.

Next if you replaced starter motor was it a new one?? If not then you may want to check the brushes inside are not worn away. Before doing that though try running a direct 12v straight into the starter motor to see if it cranks bike correctly.

I MY SISTER HAS 2006 SUZUKI INTRUDER, EVERY YEAR IN THE SPRING HER MOTOR CYCLE HAS TO HAVE A TUNE UP. IT BACK FIRES, RUNS ROUGH, MISFIRE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF SHE COULD USE A FUEL ADDITIVE OR NOT. ALSO...

Hi, is this after the bike has been away for the winter, these bikes Are designed to run on modern fuels, the intruder normaly runs fine , good advice would be to replace the spark plugs and drain the fuel from the carburettor float bowls by undoing the drain screws in the bottom of each carb, prior to using the bike after the winter, you may also check the condition of the air filter located on the left hand side of the engine under the chrome cover

Bike has been sitting without being started this winter. is it ok to start or better to have it picked up and serviced

There is no reason why it cannot be started, although you may have a bit of a difficulty doing this. As a precaution replace all the gas with fresh gas and try clear the carb/injector.

Dumping oil out of generator breather tube

Check the oil level, if the fuel runs freely to the carb and runs out it may have filled your crank case with fuel. turning it over with less power than it needs will ruin the starter, battery cables and start relay. Anyhow, if crank case is flooded with fuel clean carb to remove trash,so the float can do its job.Change oil,and air filter,clean sparkplugs. OK if i took a wrong turn stay with me, check pistons for compression.If piston is cracked or the rings are bad or not set,pressure from the piston could escape into the crankcase and blow oil out anywhere.Good luck Mr.Schnot.
