Author Message   Ilikehotchicks Posted on Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - 10:06 pm:        ANYONE please help. I just washed my bike and well now it wont start. I tracked it down to the fact that my plugs are not getting spark So im trying to figure out if its the Coil or something between the coil and the switch. One thing i did notice is that Before i washed the bike, When i Turned it on I would hear a fuel pump whine. Now it doesnt whine at all just the little light comes on and then go's away. Anyone have the slightest idea? Ben   Cataract2 Posted on Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - 10:39 pm:        Check to make certain the plug wires are seating properly on the plugs. Might also want to check to make certain there's no water inside of the boots. Also, might want to use some plug grease to prevent water getting in in the future.   Indy_bueller Posted on Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - 11:12 pm:        Sounds like its not activating the fuel pump either though. I wonder if some water got into the instrument panel or into the kill switch housing.   Bake Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2005 - 10:07 am:        You didn't hit the kill switch by mistake?   Kaveman Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2005 - 01:33 pm:        How about checking the fuses too... Just one more place to look. Kaveman   Ted Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2005 - 01:45 pm:        If its turning over, I dont think its a kill switch issue. I'd think fuse also or a short.   Blackxb9 Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2005 - 01:52 pm:        I bet the farm its the ignition fuse. Had the same problem.   Fullpower Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2005 - 01:54 pm:        what did you wash it WITH?   Buelluk Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2005 - 02:33 pm:        Why did you wash it in the first place ??.. ...sorry but i am notoriously slutty in the area of washing cars and bikes   Ilikehotchicks Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2005 - 07:49 pm:        i checked all the fuses and they are good that was the first thing i checked. Im not sure if it could be the relays i took each out and differnt things shut off so i know that each of them work. Any idea on what could cause a short? or where to start tracing the wires? I looked in the service manual but couldnt find anything on where the wire run from the coil. The thing that sucks is i dont know what part i need to buy to fix this, DAMN IT !!!!   Gowindward Posted on Friday, May 27, 2005 - 09:35 am:        Does the starter turn the engine over? If it doesn't and the fuel pump does not run, then I would be looking at the relays. My bike had a relay burn up and the fuel pump would not run and the starter would not turn. Parts about $5.00   Ilikehotchicks Posted on Friday, May 27, 2005 - 08:35 pm:        it was a relay THANKS!!!!!   Kaveman Posted on Saturday, May 28, 2005 - 01:15 pm:        Glad to hear you got it going! I will keep this post in mind if I ever wash my bike! HAHAHAHAH!!! Kaveman
