Re: Bike won't start
Ok, that narrows down what we are looking for.
If you can roll start the bike, you know it fires and mechanically it should be fine.
The kill switches on these bikes are known to wear down and lose contact. If you feel mechanically inclined, you can pull the housing apart and clean the switch plates. This would also give you an opportunity to check the starter button, though the kill switch it more common. You should be able to test voltage at the starter motor itself, if you feel like the switch is working. I haven't had this bike in quite some time, but there have to be some leads to can slap a voltmeter on to and see if it's getting juice.
There are only two known instances on the motors crapping out or of the starting gear blowing itself up. So you should be able to track this down fairly easily.
If you pull apart the kill switch housing, be cognizant of any little springs that may be in there. I don't recall that there are... only the throttle cable guides, I think. But someone with a better memory would have to verify.
