Cory Campbell All Messages By This Member #188409 Little help please. Bike ran great, strong, made a noise and stalled. Won’t start with kick or electric. Seems to make a noise ?at the valve cover. Haven’t checked for spark yet. It seems like it happened when it blew a rear turn signal bulb. Don’t know if it was a coincidence. Any ideas??? Thanks?
Sal Emma All Messages By This Member #188411 Sorry?to hear that Cory - spark is where I'd start - particularly to see if the coils are getting power. Before I said farewell to mine, it developed?a nasty chafe on the main wiring harness just behind the headlight. You'd want to pull the gas tank to inspect. Several wires were without?insulation and shorting to the frame. Fortunately, no damage was done and we had merely to carefully tape the wires and we were good to go.? =S
J Bender All Messages By This Member #188415 The sound I have no idea but I might check the fuse box for a blown circuit. Possibly related to the blown signal.?

Sal Emma All Messages By This Member #188418 Good point - the W is infamous for acting wonky if a) the battery is weak or b) the terminals are anything less than gorilla-tight.

Peter Wainwright All Messages By This Member #188419 I have put a toggle switch, breaking electricity to the front light low beam filament. It Saves 55w in case of battery goes dud and needs a quicker charge. One is then only using the 5w on the backlight.

Cory Campbell All Messages By This Member #188422 Thanks, going to check for spark. Engine turns over seems to make a funny noise at the valve cover. I will keep you posted. Thanks Everyone?
Bob Lombardi #188423 Honda used to have a center position on the high/low beam handlebar switch.? If the battery needs an extra boost, you just turn on the lights and position the high/low switch in the center position.?? My 1963 Honda 305 Super Hawk is set up this way.?? Comes in handy especially when you have a dumb charging system that is fixed to charge at a set amount and doesn't start putting out a useful charge until you hit 3000 rpm.

John Whit All Messages By This Member #188430 开云体育 Good idea for most bikes Peter but on the W neither headlight beams are used during the cranking process. They only come on once the the bike is started..
Peter Wainwright All Messages By This Member #188431 Correct, but if you suddenly have a defective battery in the middle of a ride ( twice this has occurred, once on the W and once on an SR500, however on the Yam, it was no problem as all?is manual ) the W will run erratically under certain load and revs due to the drain from the headlight low beam. Also, should the battery be ok but low on charge, it will fill quicker with an off front light.
