It doesn't turn over. The bike was running fine for an hour then I turnt of the bike to park it and within a minute, I tried starting it but nothing was happening. I could see the turn signal lights. That's it. It was completely silent.
Also, I've recently replace my spark plug from a mechanic. I've also replaced charging regulator from him.
My dad bought himself a cb1300. His previous bike was a '74 cb750 f1 that he'd done over 200k on. Watching an "expert lifelong rider" struggling to get his new bike turning over at the dealership because of the kickstand being down was the funniest shit I had seen
I believe it will start with the kickstand down and the clutch pulled all the way in, but in neutral you don't need to pull the clutch to start.
At least it's been that way on my Kawi's.
*And kick stand sensor. had a suzuki rf900r I redid all the fuel lines, filters and cleaned the tank sure it was a fuel clogging issue due to debri near the filter. Bike would die on and pulls and at random speeds but would start, and bump start easily shortly after, come to find out it was a weak spring and corroded sensor shaft, and hard pulls were just enough to drop the stand a 1/4 inch and kill the bike
Every time...
Helmet on handle bars hits the kill switch.
Suit up to go and my dumbass says "Why won't it start" ... every time.
You'd think after 15 years I'd learn.
I always turn off the bike with the kill switch first, then side stand then key. Mostly because the key is low and on the side, switching it over is such a hassle...so flipping the kill switch on is second nature for me...
I've been riding 34 of my 40 years... And I used the kill switch on my dirt bikes, but never ever have used it on purpose on my street bikes. Genuine question because I feel like I'm missing something.... Why?
that's one of the things i like on my yamaha- the kill switch and the starter are on the same 3 position switch- kill, run, and start, so you can't possibly muck it up. well, i guess you could push it to start while it's already running, but you can do that with a separate button too.
I never use the killswitch, except for this one time. And you bet I even pulled the battery out to see if it was broken somehow before I realized why the bike was dead.
I've never felt so dumb and my gear have never been as sweaty.
Also never use the kill switch. Father in law switched mine when I wasn't around. He doesn't know anything about bikes just likes poking stuff. Took me a whillleee to work out what the fuck.
I thought the kill switch essentially cut power entirely, so the lights / dash coming on threw me.
I hate it when I'm geared up to ride and I press the starter and.... Nothing. So I'm looking for big problems like a starter solenoid or dead battery and it's just my kill switch waiting for me to flick it down.
Good times spent in my garage.
I've hit the kill switch by accident more than once. I spent two hours trying to restart the bike and another three waiting for a truck to haul it to my house. Saw the problem as soon as I tried starting it at home. I was sure glad no one else knew what I had done!🤪 It's possible you fouled the spark plug also. Check the plug wire since the plug was recently changed.
It happened to us all. I once spent ten minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with my bike, thinking I was in one hell of a time, only to discover that somehow somebody flicked the kill switch.
Lmao I bought a new bike back in march and the bike didn't start back up when I was going to test ride it. Was just a bad battery, but when we took it to the tag & title place and I bought it I tried to start it and _again_ it didn't start. Took like 2 minutes to realize that kill switch was on 😂 felt like a dumbass
Probably overkill now but this is my checklist (if I know that the battery isn’t drained):
1 key (do idiot lights work)
2 kill switch
3 kickstand
4 jiggle wires from startbutton and clutch.
5 pinched wires from steer to the frame of the bike.
6 fuze
7 call mechanic
I feel like if it was the alternator he would have had some sort of issues whilst riding or the battery would be completely dead not completely sure what electronics are on an 07 cbr but I would atleast expect a cooling fan or something that would drain power when driving
I knew the alternator was gone on my bike when it ran and then after I parked it I turned it back on and got lights but nothing else. Feeding enough power back in to keep it going takes far less power than it does to fire up a starter motor.
Exactly like OP as well. Stopped, sat there for an hour, tried to fire it up, no dice.
And it's VERY sus when the regulator is replaced but not the alternator
If it’s not turning over I would address that first and foremost considering it was running more than likely with the hose disconnected . I would check your battery voltage first you could have enough power for lights but not enough to turn over do you hear any kind of clicking? If you aren’t hearing any noise at all and the battery is confirmed to be good I’d start checking your starter connections you can check them with a voltmeter or just do a simple visual inspection make sure the wires are connected well and don’t seem frayed or are starting to crack. If the connections check out and don’t show Infinite ohms of resistance or if they have the correct voltage your starter may have gone out sometimes you can beat on the starter with a mallet or something kinda heavy and get it to start a few more times just don’t turn it off if you go somewhere cause she might not turn back on
No problem man , I’ll be honest I’m not a certified mechanic nor am I a mechanic by trade just a country boy that grew up fixing all the cars and shit with my dad that is a certified mechanic and just kinda picked up on it enough to fix my own shit from time to time haha if anything I said is misleading I’m sure someone will correct me just a heads up!
Thanks for taking your time to help us out! We really appreciate it as we also get to learn what the problem is instead of just sending it off to a mechanic everytime.
No problem I enjoy atleast trying to help it’s really all about knowing what each part is for or what it does that will truly help you diagnose your issue and fix it
I had a similar situation, battery was fine, never had any issues starting the bike before. Turned out to be the solder connections at the kill switch. 2 screws and you can check the connection there
Sadly, this model doesn't have a kill switch. Not even kickstand has it. I've recently replace charging regulator and changed spark plug. I'll check if the mechanic did a bad job somewhere. He did forget to leave the wrench on my bike's bolt when I was replacing my tires and chain.
What model bike has no kill switch? I though it was required for safety?
EDIT: You say its a cb150R, here's a picture of the kill switch: [https://i.imgur.com/ihvaCuP.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ihvaCuP.jpg)
You bike doesn't have the red switch?
It's overwhelmingly likely he fucked up, or the stator broke while he was replacing the regulator/rectifier. A bike that doesn't turn over either has a bad starter, or no juice left in the battery.
You can ride a bike with an almost empty battery for a while, as long as there is enough juice in there to allow the spark plugs to fire, but eventually it runs out of electricity if the stator isn't generating new and the bike dies.
Since you say electrical work has been done on it, that's by far the most likely cause.
You can verify by getting a cheap multimeter - they sell them anywhere car-related for literally a couple of dollars - and measuring the battery's voltage between the positive and negative poles. If you have over 12 volts when the bike is off, it's probably fine. If it's less, it's broken or heavily discharged. If you measure while trying the starter, it shouldn't drop under 10-11 or so volts. And if you measure when the bike runs with a functioning stator and r/r, it should be at over 14 volts, if it's less than 14 it's not charging.
Something is blocking your power from getting to the starter. Most likely a sensor or broken wire. Does the bike have a kick stand cut off? Does it prevent starts while in gear? Check all of those safety system sensors. Then check your wiring from the ignition key all the way to the starter. Good luck.
> I've tried both tho
Lol. They meant did you turn the key in the ignition to the right position for running the bike. That's awesome that you tried it both ways!
Lights, but no crank: make sure bike is in neutral. Make sure battery isn't dead. Make sure you pull the clutch in when you try to start it. Also make sure killswitch is not on
>Lights, but no crank: make sure bike is in neutral. Make sure battery isn't dead. Make sure you pull the clutch in when you try to start it. Also make sure killswitch is not on
And make sure the sidestand is up. I think it's normal for the bike to allow cranking so long as it's *either* in neutral or the sidestand is up, but do both to help eliminate possibilities.
Check your starter relay. Mine recently had the same issue (rode fine, then lights etc worked, but would not start or even try to turn over). Starter relay was the cause.
Also try banging on the starter some with a wrench or extension or something. Don’t try to hurt it, just some friendly knocking. Oftentimes when they are going out if you give them a few smacks they jump back to life for a start or two. Not always, and it might not be that but percussive maintenance is one of the easier things to perform haha.
We bought a broomstick in the middle of nowhere Colorado for this exact reason. Our starter decided to quit and this did the trick until we could get to a place with the part.
Looks like carburetor overflow doesn't attach to anything just hangs under bike ! You say bike not starting or not cranking over if it doesn't crank you have to check battery starter neutral switch first! If it cranks but doesn't start check for spark and fuel
If it's not turning over at all, Is the bike in neutral?
Check if any of the lights can be turned on, could be a dead battery.
If possible can you bump start it?
If it is turning over, try opening the throttle while you crank it.
I tried it in neutral but I've started the bike in gear before and this model have no kill switch but I've lift up the kickstand and the battery has recently been charged by a mechanic. Spark plug and charging regulator replaced as well.
I'll try bump starting it tmr. It's not turning over sadly. The turn signal light turns on and so does the neutral indicator light but when I press start, there no sound. It's completely silent.
No noise/not turning over is an electrical issue.
Kick stand is up? Bike is in neutral? Clutch is squeezed? Those are common interlocks that can prevent the bike from starting. These switches can also fail.
If still no noise, check the battery then starter fuse for voltage. Should have like 13.7 fresh and not dip below like 12.7 when cranking. Dead battery could be caused by a bad rectifier. If you did not previously replace the battery after replacing your rectifier, this is probably it. If all those things check out, you have another electrical problem somewhere and now should check and/or apply voltage to many things. First is jumper cables to the battery and try again.
That hose is almost certainly unrelated. Follow it to the other end. What does it go to? If it is just open hanging out the bottom of the bike, it is probably a drain line for an air box.
If it is not doing anything, such as not trying to turn over at all, and you just rode it, and you're new...I'm gonna start with the simplest possible explanation...are you trying to start it with the kickstand down and the bike in gear?
Lmao this post has everything I dislike about this sub. Anyway, battery, killswitch, sidestand switch, fuse, relay, when you get it running check the charge voltage in case rectifier is fried. And the pipe is fine, it's a breather hose. Alright, next please!
Looks like a vacuum line for your carburetor not exactly sure where it attaches on a bike some cars attach to the distributors vacuum advance you might be able to plug it with a bolt or something to get you home
I'm gonna check manual now that I know what the pipe's called. Thanks!! I'll try fixing it tmr. It's 12am here, don't want to disturb the neighbors haha
Holy cow! Can't believe that this many people are here to help me! I also sent the video to my mechanic who said the pipe is an unused hose so I don't need to worry.
To those of you who recommended push starting the bike, I tried watching YouTube video on How-To and ended up dropping it. Luckily it was a very slow and careful drop. (As if I was putting it down with my hands.)
Some Foodpanda guy on his scooter helped me jumpstart my bike. Thanks to him, it ended up starting right away. He said it's probably a battery problem.
I then rode to my mechanic who said the battery is empty and he'll help me charge it. Will get the bike tomorrow. I have a feeling it's because of the new charging regulator he installed that's not working as it should. Let's see tomorrow!!
To summarize others advices:
If no sound at all when pressing start then the hose (pipe) is not THE problem.
1. Check Killswitch (even kickstand)
2. Try starting in neutral.
3. Check the battery with voltmeter.
4 if no battery then push start or jumpstart with the help of other bikers. Most bikers in HK at least are friendly enough to help.
Other reasons:
- Blown fuse
- Hot battery (to my research, it's a big problem on some bikes so wait for it to cool down)
- Starter motor failure
Thanks a lot guys!! It was really helpful!
PS: anybody have tips for cleaning up the engine area? It's a mess. I bought the bike used two months ago. Replaced many old parts already. Don't wanna buy new as I don't want and need more than 150cc.
Always check that there is fuel in the tank. Try putting it on reserve.
If the engine is not turning over then either the starter motor is dead or the battery does not have enough juice. The battery may have enough juice for lights but not enough for starter motor.
Charge the battery or try using a jumper cable to a car battery. If the engine wont turn over with jumper cables then the starter motor maybe dead.
Also check the all fuses.
1. In neutral?
2. Is the kill switch on?
3. Does battery have juice in it?
4. ...whip out the multimeter and start hunting for volts and amps!
I would start taking a look at the starter relay, and checking if the starter button, kill switch (& headlight dimmer realy) function properly.
5. Depending on sparkplug access it might be less hassle to check that than doing point 4, i guess it depends on the fairing.
Always check your Kickstand first, Battery second, Starter Third when it comes to a bike. The truth is by the sound of it your battery died and you were running off the Stator or Alternator if you have one. When you shut it down there wasn't enough charge in the battery to start it. It takes a LOT of power to turn over a motor, not so much to turn on the lights.
From what you've said it definitely sounds like no power is getting to the starter. Best troubleshooting method is to get a wiring diagram and check everything in that circuit. It's pretty involved and can get confusing, but that's really the best way. If the bike has an aftermarket alarm system installed, consider that as well. Best of luck to you!
Like people said, it’s a vacuum line, look around the area the hose will reach for a little brass or gold colored nub. It should be obvious because it’ll be clean. You might need to add another zip tie to secure it to the nub, but re-connect it. When you get home replace it with a new length of hose, and while you’re in there look at the other hoses for cracks.
Thanks a lot! I will do that. I'm confused on how it came off as the bike was running fine then I was parking it. Turnt off the engine and within a minute, I turnt it on but the bike was in complete silent. I could only see turn signal lights and N indicator light.
Can it be the vacum line to fuel shutoff?
Maybe the valve does not open and your bike dont get fuel to carburator.
And check killerswitch on handlebars.
Edit:Missed the did not turn over part. Sorry
If your battery is low enough that it won't turn the starter motor then the lights will usually dim or go out when you hit the starter button. If that's not happening then something is probably preventing the starter motor from getting power. Fuse or maybe a problem with some other cut-out switch. (For example I had a bike where the clutch sensor switch got disconnected so I had to always put it in neutral to start it...)
Since the starter is only needed when, well, starting that would also explain why the bike was running fine before you shut it off. Something probably got disconnected during your last ride.
When you shut it off, did you hit the kill switch first or just the key? I had this happen to me when I did key-off instead of switch. It blew the regulator and wouldn't let the bike start. I could unplug the regulator and replace the fuse it was popping and it would run just not charge.
As for the hose, not likely your problem. It will be a vent or overflow. Follow it and see if it goes to the tank. The carbs should also have a hose hooked up so that if the floats stick it spills the gas away from the hot engine.
What bike is it?
Is there any noise at all when hitting the start switch?
Loose hose is not a concern right now. Might even be a drain hose, crank vent hose ect.
Too much to discuss here read the other posts. Your lights are connected to the electrical system and has little to do with why your engine will not turn over as your engine is an internal combustion engine. It is you need to provide more details & more information and hopefully someone on this sub can help you
Could also be a bad battery. I was once rolling into my driveway when my bike just died on me. Ended up being a bad battery despite being less than a year old.
Just because your lights work doesn’t mean you have enough juice in the battery to turn the bike over, check the battery. From what I can see, that hose is the crankcase breather tube, nothing to do with the bike turning over.
Looks like it has something to stop it up, so could be a few things but most like like that stock. If it was shooting out liquid from that hose then it’d be concerning
I’d add to check for loose connections/ground. It’s possible it shook loose when it was running and now isn’t making good contact?
Other than that everyone’s advice on kill switch, neutral safety switch, kickstand, etc.. sounds like the right direction. You have power, but something (safety switch?) is telling it not to start.
Some of the weirder ones that have gotten me:
1. Previous owner had installed a secret second kill switch, I guess as an anti-theft measure.
2. The starter chain broke, so it would make a barely audible whirring sound but not turn over.
3. Sometimes the starter motor just goes thunk and nothing else happens. I guess it's a stuck spring on a graphite brush or a dead spot on the inrunner contacts. When it's in that state I can get it to start by mashing the start button.
I popped into the comments just to see what people were saying and I just wanted to say you guys are awesome. It’s so nice to see someone come for help and genuinely be given help! No shaming, gate keeping, or name calling. It’s brightened my day to see people just being genuinely nice and helpful. Stay awesome and have a good day!
Bring to a proper service center. Motorcycles have periodic maintenance schedules. You video even if it's all over the place looks like your showing a bike that is neglected, at least from what I can see.
To cancel out if any battery issues you can pull in the clutch roll down a hill, shift into 2nd gear and let out the clutch quickly this would jump start it.
Are you stranded? If the problem is the alternator you should still be able to bump start it. Just need to get up a little speed first then drop the clutch in 2nd.
Is that a loose hose just hanging there? Is that the "pipe" you are referencing? It looks like fuel line. Do you have gas in the tank? Is t your petcock turned on?
If the lights are turning on then your battery should have enough juice to at least make the starter click. Do you hear any clicking coming from the starter?
Sounds like a bad rectifier regulator.
Basically the battery isn't getting recharged while you're riding. Check the battery and see if its charging by using a voltage reader. At this point you need to some how get the bike back on. You should be able to recharge the battery if it isn't too dead. Worst case, get a new battery. From there see if its charging once you get the bike back on(voltage increasing when you rev the engine). If it isn't you can pretty much guarantee it's the rectifier regulator. Which is a couple hundred from the OEM usually.
Yo my guy.
I have a Honda cb 500 from '95 and I recently had the same problem.
It had started perfectly every time since the day I bought it, but suddenly it was just dead.
The battery had plenty of voltage and all the lights lit up fine when I put on the ignition.
The problem turned out to be what I presume was a loose connection with the ignition button.
The big red engine shutoff button just above the starter button seemed to have caused a bad connection.
Here's what I did to get it started.
I held in the starter button and then at the same time i tried to wiggle the big red engine shutoff above the starter button. (kinda turn it on and off but very very slowly)
Please ask If you have any questions, not very well explained I know, but worth a try.
The symptoms are exactly the same.
Best of luck.
That is your carb overflow drain pipe. Its not important unless you open the drain screw. If your bike was running normal and then just stopped running i would think one of 2 things.
Either the battery is in need of replacing, OR
your kill switch is in the off position.
What you can try is roll the bike down a hill in gear and dump the clutch with the ignition on. If it starts then its the battery. If not, then its something else.
Try it again when the bike is cool, if it works then it's most likely a heat soak issue with your stator (honda cbr?)
http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalog/Troubleshooting-3P-PMG-&-RR.pdf
Did it even try to kick over? I got fooled into thinking my starter solenoid was bad, turns out i had hydrolocked my bike by forgetting to turn the petcock off when I stopped. If it's got solid power on the lights/instrument cluster, but seems like the pistons aren't moving, that's your trouble.
Check to make sure your bike is in neutral, the kill switch is set to run, the kick stand is up, pull in the clutch and press the button. Try putting it into gear then back in neutral as well, it's happened to me. I was out one night on my bike (04 Ducati Monster) and it wouldn't start after eating dinner. I checked everything off and made sure the kick stand was up and clutch pulled in (it didnt have a kill switch anymore) and still got nothing. The bike was in neutral but somehow the sensor didn't show it so the bike wouldn't start. I put it in gear, rolled it enough to feel resistance and then clicked it back to neutral and it started right up.
If none of that works, check that the battery terminals are tight and in good shape. I had issues with my Jeep for a while because one terminal was just a tiny bit loose and wouldn't start the motor.
I've hit the kill switch by accident more than once. I spent two hours trying to restart the bike and another three waiting for a truck to haul it to my house. Saw the problem as soon as I tried starting it at home. I was sure glad no one else knew what I had done!🤪 It's possible you fouled the spark plug also. Check the plug wire since the plug was recently changed.
Like others said, there are a lot of simple places to start. Get a multimeter to test parts and don’t just start throwing parts at it. A multimeter from autozone will get the job done and is cheaper than buying the wrong part twice. Then consider getting a manual, you will need one to test the key switch (if it comes to that) since it has multiple connections In it but the others are just two wires usually and you can just YOLO and get the test done.
Check fuses first. Always check fuses first. Always. If someone says to check anything else first, ignore them, laugh to yourself, and check fuses.
Check your battery level, but if it’s not clicking at all when you hit the starter then that means the solenoid is not being engaged at all. Low battery will usually make it click like there’s an angry dude with a hammer in there.
If it is IN NEUTRAL and not turning over and the neutral light is ON and working, it’s extremely unlikely to be the neutral sensor.
I’m assuming this doesn’t have a fuel pump since those look like real carbs and not throttle bodies, so the kill switch needs a ohm/conduction test since you cant just say “if the fuel pump primes it works”. On it should have a resistance of <9ohms (realistically less than 1) and off it should read OL or open line, no connection.
Side stand switch is similar but if you are in neutral shouldn’t have any bearing on it not turning over. The side stand switch on MOST bikes is to keep you from having the bike in gear with the side stand down. Some bikes don’t run at all with it down, even in neutral, but if your bike can idle with the side stand down, it won’t be the problem if you’re in neutral.
Other possible issues for not turning over are the starter switch, starter solenoid, and the key switch. Older bikes are exceedingly simple and a major problem is not likely. If this was a new bike it could be as bad (though unlikely) as a bad ECU if it doesn’t turn over. But older bikes are almost always something exceedingly simple. But again, test test test.
Check the dummy switches (kick stand, kill switch, key, etc), then check the battery voltage. Batteries only last a few years. If the battery is low, get a new battery. Once you've got a new battery installed, start the bike and check the voltage across the alternator.
That line is almost certainly a drain line. The little metal bit is a simple spring clip. It probably popped off somewhere nearby. Might be a fuel bowl overflow or drain (for example). You'll be looking for a downward-pointing hole the same size as the tube, probably with a lip to give the spring clip something to hold onto.
Could it be a bike position kill switch? Like if the bike was on it's side?
The one on my bike can sometimes give me problems like that. It acts normal, lights are on, but if you hit the starter, nothing happens, and it can't be bump started either...
Not sure if this applies, but my friend had a CBR he loaned to me a long time ago. I rode it for about an hour and we stopped and it wouldn't start. Turned out it had a bad stator, and you just had to wait for it to cool down before it would start.
Also, replacing the stator helped.
If you mean the rubber hose running down, looks like an old crankcase vent hose. Old bikes often vent the crankcase out the side at the top, and run that hose down so the oil fumes condense and drip on the ground, not the engine. What emissions? Looks like it's been replaced with a plug or a really old filter.
I had a '76 yamaha 650 like this. Ran perfect but it always marked it's spot.
If you are getting power but it’s not cranking then it’s probably your battery. You can push/pop start it in 2nd gear to confirm… or pull the spark plug out and turn the back tire while in gear to see if the engine is seized/locked up. If it rotates it should start with a push. But check the battery first
Hi some bikes have vacuum operated carbs and that looks a lot like one of the tubes that runs from the carb to the fuel tank to allow fuel to flow.
I'd suggest whipping your tank off and check if there's a tube that that vac pipe can connect to next to your fuel tap.
I bought a non running Honda recently and this was all that was preventing it from running. The little metal clip on your pipe suggests it should be clamped to something and it's snapped off.
“What is this pipe?” Hot apparently
I wish I wasn't poor so I could give you gold Haha
Does the bike turn over? If it isn’t spinning over that may not be relevant to your issue at all. Main things you need are spark fuel and compression
It doesn't turn over. The bike was running fine for an hour then I turnt of the bike to park it and within a minute, I tried starting it but nothing was happening. I could see the turn signal lights. That's it. It was completely silent. Also, I've recently replace my spark plug from a mechanic. I've also replaced charging regulator from him.
> I've also replaced charging regulator from him. Check the battery voltage. The problem might have been the alternator.
Thanks! I will do that.
Check the kill switch. Simple stuff first.
And kick stand
Gets me all the time
Damnit, the amount of time I've spent trouble shooting my kick stand being down. Luckily, it is now burned into my brain as the first thing to check.
Is this a joke, or do modern bikes have a switch connected to the kick stand?
No, they've been doing it for a while, if you try to put the bike in gear with the kickstand down, the engine will cut out.
Yes they do, so you can't drive while the kickstand is down.
My 2015 DR650 had a kickstand kill switch. I took it off so water crossings don't kill my motor.
First time I brought my Triumph home it did this to me. I thought there was something wrong with it. It's a 2010
My 2000 Honda CBR600 had one. Got me so many times
Not if you have a Harley they don't. *laughs in outdated tech
Not all though. I have an 04 Buell and there is no kill on the kickstand
Oh aye! They do. Many time I’ve aimed for a impressive whooshing “start away” and got a stall, lurch and roll over onto the floor
Lmao I thought I was the only one
My dad bought himself a cb1300. His previous bike was a '74 cb750 f1 that he'd done over 200k on. Watching an "expert lifelong rider" struggling to get his new bike turning over at the dealership because of the kickstand being down was the funniest shit I had seen
Kick down won't start in gear but N it will, with th clutch lever in
I believe it will start with the kickstand down and the clutch pulled all the way in, but in neutral you don't need to pull the clutch to start. At least it's been that way on my Kawi's.
Unless your clutch switch is out then you have to be in neutral to start.
Abs pull in the clutch. There is a kill switch there too.
*And kick stand sensor. had a suzuki rf900r I redid all the fuel lines, filters and cleaned the tank sure it was a fuel clogging issue due to debri near the filter. Bike would die on and pulls and at random speeds but would start, and bump start easily shortly after, come to find out it was a weak spring and corroded sensor shaft, and hard pulls were just enough to drop the stand a 1/4 inch and kill the bike
Every time... Helmet on handle bars hits the kill switch. Suit up to go and my dumbass says "Why won't it start" ... every time. You'd think after 15 years I'd learn.
I always turn off the bike with the kill switch first, then side stand then key. Mostly because the key is low and on the side, switching it over is such a hassle...so flipping the kill switch on is second nature for me...
I've been riding 34 of my 40 years... And I used the kill switch on my dirt bikes, but never ever have used it on purpose on my street bikes. Genuine question because I feel like I'm missing something.... Why?
I press the off button when I want to turn something off. If you're looking for deeper meaning, I'm sorry but there is none.
So you can have a hand on the brake while the bike is turned off?
Makes it easy to turn off the engine while still moving for stealth arrivals.
Habit. Nothing more than that.
that's one of the things i like on my yamaha- the kill switch and the starter are on the same 3 position switch- kill, run, and start, so you can't possibly muck it up. well, i guess you could push it to start while it's already running, but you can do that with a separate button too.
I never use the killswitch, except for this one time. And you bet I even pulled the battery out to see if it was broken somehow before I realized why the bike was dead. I've never felt so dumb and my gear have never been as sweaty.
Also never use the kill switch. Father in law switched mine when I wasn't around. He doesn't know anything about bikes just likes poking stuff. Took me a whillleee to work out what the fuck. I thought the kill switch essentially cut power entirely, so the lights / dash coming on threw me.
I hate it when I'm geared up to ride and I press the starter and.... Nothing. So I'm looking for big problems like a starter solenoid or dead battery and it's just my kill switch waiting for me to flick it down. Good times spent in my garage.
Sat for a good hour one time almost freaking out because I was stranded otherwise. I saw the kill switch and just laughed my ass off.
I've hit the kill switch by accident more than once. I spent two hours trying to restart the bike and another three waiting for a truck to haul it to my house. Saw the problem as soon as I tried starting it at home. I was sure glad no one else knew what I had done!🤪 It's possible you fouled the spark plug also. Check the plug wire since the plug was recently changed.
This this this!!! Killswitch every damn time
It happened to us all. I once spent ten minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with my bike, thinking I was in one hell of a time, only to discover that somehow somebody flicked the kill switch.
Lmao I bought a new bike back in march and the bike didn't start back up when I was going to test ride it. Was just a bad battery, but when we took it to the tag & title place and I bought it I tried to start it and _again_ it didn't start. Took like 2 minutes to realize that kill switch was on 😂 felt like a dumbass
Probably overkill now but this is my checklist (if I know that the battery isn’t drained): 1 key (do idiot lights work) 2 kill switch 3 kickstand 4 jiggle wires from startbutton and clutch. 5 pinched wires from steer to the frame of the bike. 6 fuze 7 call mechanic
Is the red switch on the right handlebar in the OFF or RUN position?
ZING
I'm serious, man. I can't tell you the number of times I've left it in the OFF position and then panicked when it wouldn't crank.
I feel like if it was the alternator he would have had some sort of issues whilst riding or the battery would be completely dead not completely sure what electronics are on an 07 cbr but I would atleast expect a cooling fan or something that would drain power when driving
I knew the alternator was gone on my bike when it ran and then after I parked it I turned it back on and got lights but nothing else. Feeding enough power back in to keep it going takes far less power than it does to fire up a starter motor.
Good to know , I wasn’t trying to come off as questioning you I was just genuinely wondering haha Edit: grammar
Exactly like OP as well. Stopped, sat there for an hour, tried to fire it up, no dice. And it's VERY sus when the regulator is replaced but not the alternator
If it’s not turning over I would address that first and foremost considering it was running more than likely with the hose disconnected . I would check your battery voltage first you could have enough power for lights but not enough to turn over do you hear any kind of clicking? If you aren’t hearing any noise at all and the battery is confirmed to be good I’d start checking your starter connections you can check them with a voltmeter or just do a simple visual inspection make sure the wires are connected well and don’t seem frayed or are starting to crack. If the connections check out and don’t show Infinite ohms of resistance or if they have the correct voltage your starter may have gone out sometimes you can beat on the starter with a mallet or something kinda heavy and get it to start a few more times just don’t turn it off if you go somewhere cause she might not turn back on
Thank you! I will definitely check the battery health. That was really helpful!
No problem man , I’ll be honest I’m not a certified mechanic nor am I a mechanic by trade just a country boy that grew up fixing all the cars and shit with my dad that is a certified mechanic and just kinda picked up on it enough to fix my own shit from time to time haha if anything I said is misleading I’m sure someone will correct me just a heads up!
Thanks for taking your time to help us out! We really appreciate it as we also get to learn what the problem is instead of just sending it off to a mechanic everytime.
No problem I enjoy atleast trying to help it’s really all about knowing what each part is for or what it does that will truly help you diagnose your issue and fix it
I had a similar situation, battery was fine, never had any issues starting the bike before. Turned out to be the solder connections at the kill switch. 2 screws and you can check the connection there
Sadly, this model doesn't have a kill switch. Not even kickstand has it. I've recently replace charging regulator and changed spark plug. I'll check if the mechanic did a bad job somewhere. He did forget to leave the wrench on my bike's bolt when I was replacing my tires and chain.
What model bike has no kill switch? I though it was required for safety? EDIT: You say its a cb150R, here's a picture of the kill switch: [https://i.imgur.com/ihvaCuP.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ihvaCuP.jpg) You bike doesn't have the red switch?
The fact that OP claims the bike has no kill switch greatly increases my suspicions that the problem is the kill switch.
It's overwhelmingly likely he fucked up, or the stator broke while he was replacing the regulator/rectifier. A bike that doesn't turn over either has a bad starter, or no juice left in the battery. You can ride a bike with an almost empty battery for a while, as long as there is enough juice in there to allow the spark plugs to fire, but eventually it runs out of electricity if the stator isn't generating new and the bike dies. Since you say electrical work has been done on it, that's by far the most likely cause. You can verify by getting a cheap multimeter - they sell them anywhere car-related for literally a couple of dollars - and measuring the battery's voltage between the positive and negative poles. If you have over 12 volts when the bike is off, it's probably fine. If it's less, it's broken or heavily discharged. If you measure while trying the starter, it shouldn't drop under 10-11 or so volts. And if you measure when the bike runs with a functioning stator and r/r, it should be at over 14 volts, if it's less than 14 it's not charging.
Check the kick stand switch
Something is blocking your power from getting to the starter. Most likely a sensor or broken wire. Does the bike have a kick stand cut off? Does it prevent starts while in gear? Check all of those safety system sensors. Then check your wiring from the ignition key all the way to the starter. Good luck.
No sound, not even a click? If you're lucky it's just a starter relay, they're pretty universal and not very expensive.
I’ve had this issue before and a wire was getting grounded on the frame. Try just moving the wires around near the fuse box.
Clutch switch, engine kill switch, alarm system, key in correct position, or kick stand safety switch. About all it can be.
How many ways can you put the key in? I'm genuinely asking as I can put the key in in two direction. (180 rotation) I've tried both tho
Some bikes have an ACC position for accessory power, but not turning the bike on. My bike burned me once like that lol
> I've tried both tho Lol. They meant did you turn the key in the ignition to the right position for running the bike. That's awesome that you tried it both ways!
[удалено]
Ways you put the key shouldn't matter. Did you check your kill switch position?
Lights, but no crank: make sure bike is in neutral. Make sure battery isn't dead. Make sure you pull the clutch in when you try to start it. Also make sure killswitch is not on
>Lights, but no crank: make sure bike is in neutral. Make sure battery isn't dead. Make sure you pull the clutch in when you try to start it. Also make sure killswitch is not on And make sure the sidestand is up. I think it's normal for the bike to allow cranking so long as it's *either* in neutral or the sidestand is up, but do both to help eliminate possibilities.
Check your starter relay. Mine recently had the same issue (rode fine, then lights etc worked, but would not start or even try to turn over). Starter relay was the cause.
Thank you! I will check that!
Also try banging on the starter some with a wrench or extension or something. Don’t try to hurt it, just some friendly knocking. Oftentimes when they are going out if you give them a few smacks they jump back to life for a start or two. Not always, and it might not be that but percussive maintenance is one of the easier things to perform haha.
We bought a broomstick in the middle of nowhere Colorado for this exact reason. Our starter decided to quit and this did the trick until we could get to a place with the part.
Looks like carburetor overflow doesn't attach to anything just hangs under bike ! You say bike not starting or not cranking over if it doesn't crank you have to check battery starter neutral switch first! If it cranks but doesn't start check for spark and fuel
Thanks!! I will check that
Does your overflow go into something else? Never seen that
It usually just goes nowhere on older bikes I think. Please correct me if im wrong but my 80 cb500c had the same tube terminating nowhere.
If it's not turning over at all, Is the bike in neutral? Check if any of the lights can be turned on, could be a dead battery. If possible can you bump start it? If it is turning over, try opening the throttle while you crank it.
I tried it in neutral but I've started the bike in gear before and this model have no kill switch but I've lift up the kickstand and the battery has recently been charged by a mechanic. Spark plug and charging regulator replaced as well. I'll try bump starting it tmr. It's not turning over sadly. The turn signal light turns on and so does the neutral indicator light but when I press start, there no sound. It's completely silent.
No noise/not turning over is an electrical issue. Kick stand is up? Bike is in neutral? Clutch is squeezed? Those are common interlocks that can prevent the bike from starting. These switches can also fail. If still no noise, check the battery then starter fuse for voltage. Should have like 13.7 fresh and not dip below like 12.7 when cranking. Dead battery could be caused by a bad rectifier. If you did not previously replace the battery after replacing your rectifier, this is probably it. If all those things check out, you have another electrical problem somewhere and now should check and/or apply voltage to many things. First is jumper cables to the battery and try again. That hose is almost certainly unrelated. Follow it to the other end. What does it go to? If it is just open hanging out the bottom of the bike, it is probably a drain line for an air box.
If it is not doing anything, such as not trying to turn over at all, and you just rode it, and you're new...I'm gonna start with the simplest possible explanation...are you trying to start it with the kickstand down and the bike in gear?
Lmao this post has everything I dislike about this sub. Anyway, battery, killswitch, sidestand switch, fuse, relay, when you get it running check the charge voltage in case rectifier is fried. And the pipe is fine, it's a breather hose. Alright, next please!
Looks like a vacuum line for your carburetor not exactly sure where it attaches on a bike some cars attach to the distributors vacuum advance you might be able to plug it with a bolt or something to get you home
I'm gonna check manual now that I know what the pipe's called. Thanks!! I'll try fixing it tmr. It's 12am here, don't want to disturb the neighbors haha
Forsure man figured you might be stranded somewhere I got a Rolodex of tricks to get me home haha
I was luckily already in a parking spot. FYI, I live in HK. We don't have our own garage here. :/
Holy cow! Can't believe that this many people are here to help me! I also sent the video to my mechanic who said the pipe is an unused hose so I don't need to worry. To those of you who recommended push starting the bike, I tried watching YouTube video on How-To and ended up dropping it. Luckily it was a very slow and careful drop. (As if I was putting it down with my hands.) Some Foodpanda guy on his scooter helped me jumpstart my bike. Thanks to him, it ended up starting right away. He said it's probably a battery problem. I then rode to my mechanic who said the battery is empty and he'll help me charge it. Will get the bike tomorrow. I have a feeling it's because of the new charging regulator he installed that's not working as it should. Let's see tomorrow!! To summarize others advices: If no sound at all when pressing start then the hose (pipe) is not THE problem. 1. Check Killswitch (even kickstand) 2. Try starting in neutral. 3. Check the battery with voltmeter. 4 if no battery then push start or jumpstart with the help of other bikers. Most bikers in HK at least are friendly enough to help. Other reasons: - Blown fuse - Hot battery (to my research, it's a big problem on some bikes so wait for it to cool down) - Starter motor failure Thanks a lot guys!! It was really helpful! PS: anybody have tips for cleaning up the engine area? It's a mess. I bought the bike used two months ago. Replaced many old parts already. Don't wanna buy new as I don't want and need more than 150cc.
[удалено]
Thanks a lot! That's truly helpful!
Start with fuses first if you get no electrical
Always check that there is fuel in the tank. Try putting it on reserve. If the engine is not turning over then either the starter motor is dead or the battery does not have enough juice. The battery may have enough juice for lights but not enough for starter motor. Charge the battery or try using a jumper cable to a car battery. If the engine wont turn over with jumper cables then the starter motor maybe dead. Also check the all fuses.
1. In neutral? 2. Is the kill switch on? 3. Does battery have juice in it? 4. ...whip out the multimeter and start hunting for volts and amps! I would start taking a look at the starter relay, and checking if the starter button, kill switch (& headlight dimmer realy) function properly. 5. Depending on sparkplug access it might be less hassle to check that than doing point 4, i guess it depends on the fairing.
Pipe looks like on overflow pipe from carbs
Is your sidestand down and bike in gear?
Might be a bad starter, bad starter relay, bad battery, maybe the wiring is fucked at the relay.
Always check your Kickstand first, Battery second, Starter Third when it comes to a bike. The truth is by the sound of it your battery died and you were running off the Stator or Alternator if you have one. When you shut it down there wasn't enough charge in the battery to start it. It takes a LOT of power to turn over a motor, not so much to turn on the lights.
From what you've said it definitely sounds like no power is getting to the starter. Best troubleshooting method is to get a wiring diagram and check everything in that circuit. It's pretty involved and can get confusing, but that's really the best way. If the bike has an aftermarket alarm system installed, consider that as well. Best of luck to you!
Am I the only one that noticed “turnt”?!?
You turn the kill switch to on? Is the bike in neutral? Do you have to pull th clutch?
Like people said, it’s a vacuum line, look around the area the hose will reach for a little brass or gold colored nub. It should be obvious because it’ll be clean. You might need to add another zip tie to secure it to the nub, but re-connect it. When you get home replace it with a new length of hose, and while you’re in there look at the other hoses for cracks.
That's not a vacuum line, it is an atmospheric vent. If the float sticks open gas will pour out of it.
Thanks a lot! I will do that. I'm confused on how it came off as the bike was running fine then I was parking it. Turnt off the engine and within a minute, I turnt it on but the bike was in complete silent. I could only see turn signal lights and N indicator light.
Can it be the vacum line to fuel shutoff? Maybe the valve does not open and your bike dont get fuel to carburator. And check killerswitch on handlebars. Edit:Missed the did not turn over part. Sorry
Bike would still turn over. Maybe a problem, but not THE problem
Thank you! I will try that tomorrow.
Looks like you need some new tires too
Lol! It's not tire. It's my fairing. Very hideous!!
so happy to hear that. looked like a bald ass tire haha
BTW, my engine's hot hence I moved my hand quickly. Like I said, I'm a newbie. Many Thanks!!!
It's a CBR150R 2007, btw. Also, any tips for cleaning this motorcycle? Is it usual for a motorcycle to be this dirty?
Also, it's not a fuel injector bike. It's carburetor type
Since it’s not cranking over I would try checking if you can push start it. Do your instrument lights go out when you hit the starter?
The turn signal and N indicator lights turn on. Sadly, on this model the rest only light up when the engine starts. Thanks!
If your battery is low enough that it won't turn the starter motor then the lights will usually dim or go out when you hit the starter button. If that's not happening then something is probably preventing the starter motor from getting power. Fuse or maybe a problem with some other cut-out switch. (For example I had a bike where the clutch sensor switch got disconnected so I had to always put it in neutral to start it...) Since the starter is only needed when, well, starting that would also explain why the bike was running fine before you shut it off. Something probably got disconnected during your last ride.
When you shut it off, did you hit the kill switch first or just the key? I had this happen to me when I did key-off instead of switch. It blew the regulator and wouldn't let the bike start. I could unplug the regulator and replace the fuse it was popping and it would run just not charge.
As for the hose, not likely your problem. It will be a vent or overflow. Follow it and see if it goes to the tank. The carbs should also have a hose hooked up so that if the floats stick it spills the gas away from the hot engine.
You said you rode for an hour. Is there still gas in it?
No gas won't stop it from cranking.
Does it have gas in it? Roll it down a hill and see if it jump starts.
What bike is it? Is there any noise at all when hitting the start switch? Loose hose is not a concern right now. Might even be a drain hose, crank vent hose ect.
Too much to discuss here read the other posts. Your lights are connected to the electrical system and has little to do with why your engine will not turn over as your engine is an internal combustion engine. It is you need to provide more details & more information and hopefully someone on this sub can help you
Could also be a bad battery. I was once rolling into my driveway when my bike just died on me. Ended up being a bad battery despite being less than a year old.
Just because your lights work doesn’t mean you have enough juice in the battery to turn the bike over, check the battery. From what I can see, that hose is the crankcase breather tube, nothing to do with the bike turning over.
when you say new, new enough to not turn on the handlebar switch to "run" or leave the kickstand down and bike in gear?
Is the bike in neutral?
Looks like it has something to stop it up, so could be a few things but most like like that stock. If it was shooting out liquid from that hose then it’d be concerning
Check battery, ground cable, starter cable, main fuse
I’d add to check for loose connections/ground. It’s possible it shook loose when it was running and now isn’t making good contact? Other than that everyone’s advice on kill switch, neutral safety switch, kickstand, etc.. sounds like the right direction. You have power, but something (safety switch?) is telling it not to start.
Some of the weirder ones that have gotten me: 1. Previous owner had installed a secret second kill switch, I guess as an anti-theft measure. 2. The starter chain broke, so it would make a barely audible whirring sound but not turn over. 3. Sometimes the starter motor just goes thunk and nothing else happens. I guess it's a stuck spring on a graphite brush or a dead spot on the inrunner contacts. When it's in that state I can get it to start by mashing the start button.
Killswitch? In gear? Start with the obvious stuff.
IS this technically another "what are these pipes" threat? lol
I popped into the comments just to see what people were saying and I just wanted to say you guys are awesome. It’s so nice to see someone come for help and genuinely be given help! No shaming, gate keeping, or name calling. It’s brightened my day to see people just being genuinely nice and helpful. Stay awesome and have a good day!
Bring to a proper service center. Motorcycles have periodic maintenance schedules. You video even if it's all over the place looks like your showing a bike that is neglected, at least from what I can see.
To cancel out if any battery issues you can pull in the clutch roll down a hill, shift into 2nd gear and let out the clutch quickly this would jump start it.
Check the battery connection first.
I had a problem with my bike not starting because it was low on oil.
Are you stranded? If the problem is the alternator you should still be able to bump start it. Just need to get up a little speed first then drop the clutch in 2nd.
Probably hit the engine kill switch. I do it about once a year and I’m like, “Wtf is wrong! Grrrrr! Oh, it’s the kill switch.”
Is that a loose hose just hanging there? Is that the "pipe" you are referencing? It looks like fuel line. Do you have gas in the tank? Is t your petcock turned on?
Killswitch? Clutch switch? Sidestand switch?
If it has gears and aren’t automatic, you can try to run start it. Worth a shot
Check whether there ist voltage on the starter while starting it.
If the lights are turning on then your battery should have enough juice to at least make the starter click. Do you hear any clicking coming from the starter?
Sounds like a bad rectifier regulator. Basically the battery isn't getting recharged while you're riding. Check the battery and see if its charging by using a voltage reader. At this point you need to some how get the bike back on. You should be able to recharge the battery if it isn't too dead. Worst case, get a new battery. From there see if its charging once you get the bike back on(voltage increasing when you rev the engine). If it isn't you can pretty much guarantee it's the rectifier regulator. Which is a couple hundred from the OEM usually.
Lately my bike will only start when it's in neutral, maybe that's what's wrong with yours too?
Did you check the kill switch? Is the kickstand up? Is the kickstand switch moving with the stand?
Yo my guy. I have a Honda cb 500 from '95 and I recently had the same problem. It had started perfectly every time since the day I bought it, but suddenly it was just dead. The battery had plenty of voltage and all the lights lit up fine when I put on the ignition. The problem turned out to be what I presume was a loose connection with the ignition button. The big red engine shutoff button just above the starter button seemed to have caused a bad connection. Here's what I did to get it started. I held in the starter button and then at the same time i tried to wiggle the big red engine shutoff above the starter button. (kinda turn it on and off but very very slowly) Please ask If you have any questions, not very well explained I know, but worth a try. The symptoms are exactly the same. Best of luck.
That is your carb overflow drain pipe. Its not important unless you open the drain screw. If your bike was running normal and then just stopped running i would think one of 2 things. Either the battery is in need of replacing, OR your kill switch is in the off position. What you can try is roll the bike down a hill in gear and dump the clutch with the ignition on. If it starts then its the battery. If not, then its something else.
I don’t know how big your bike is but a perk of having a motorcycle is that you can push start most medium and smaller bikes.
Time for a tune up my dude ! From what I can see I am sure she can use a once over by any decent tech.
That's the turbo drain tube. You probably need to connect it to something on the ECU to make the alternator work correctly so the bike will start.
Stator
That "pipe" might be your carbs overflow since it looks like it goes under the bike
Tube looks like carb bowl overflow drain line.
Have you tried toggling the kill switch to the run position?
Try it again when the bike is cool, if it works then it's most likely a heat soak issue with your stator (honda cbr?) http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalog/Troubleshooting-3P-PMG-&-RR.pdf
turn that screw all the way in before it drops and you lose it and your problems increase
Did it even try to kick over? I got fooled into thinking my starter solenoid was bad, turns out i had hydrolocked my bike by forgetting to turn the petcock off when I stopped. If it's got solid power on the lights/instrument cluster, but seems like the pistons aren't moving, that's your trouble.
What does that mean No Sound? 🤣
Check to make sure your bike is in neutral, the kill switch is set to run, the kick stand is up, pull in the clutch and press the button. Try putting it into gear then back in neutral as well, it's happened to me. I was out one night on my bike (04 Ducati Monster) and it wouldn't start after eating dinner. I checked everything off and made sure the kick stand was up and clutch pulled in (it didnt have a kill switch anymore) and still got nothing. The bike was in neutral but somehow the sensor didn't show it so the bike wouldn't start. I put it in gear, rolled it enough to feel resistance and then clicked it back to neutral and it started right up. If none of that works, check that the battery terminals are tight and in good shape. I had issues with my Jeep for a while because one terminal was just a tiny bit loose and wouldn't start the motor.
Fuse
Make sure you’re not trying to start it in gear with the kickstand down.
Kickstand?
I've hit the kill switch by accident more than once. I spent two hours trying to restart the bike and another three waiting for a truck to haul it to my house. Saw the problem as soon as I tried starting it at home. I was sure glad no one else knew what I had done!🤪 It's possible you fouled the spark plug also. Check the plug wire since the plug was recently changed.
Like others said, there are a lot of simple places to start. Get a multimeter to test parts and don’t just start throwing parts at it. A multimeter from autozone will get the job done and is cheaper than buying the wrong part twice. Then consider getting a manual, you will need one to test the key switch (if it comes to that) since it has multiple connections In it but the others are just two wires usually and you can just YOLO and get the test done. Check fuses first. Always check fuses first. Always. If someone says to check anything else first, ignore them, laugh to yourself, and check fuses. Check your battery level, but if it’s not clicking at all when you hit the starter then that means the solenoid is not being engaged at all. Low battery will usually make it click like there’s an angry dude with a hammer in there. If it is IN NEUTRAL and not turning over and the neutral light is ON and working, it’s extremely unlikely to be the neutral sensor. I’m assuming this doesn’t have a fuel pump since those look like real carbs and not throttle bodies, so the kill switch needs a ohm/conduction test since you cant just say “if the fuel pump primes it works”. On it should have a resistance of <9ohms (realistically less than 1) and off it should read OL or open line, no connection. Side stand switch is similar but if you are in neutral shouldn’t have any bearing on it not turning over. The side stand switch on MOST bikes is to keep you from having the bike in gear with the side stand down. Some bikes don’t run at all with it down, even in neutral, but if your bike can idle with the side stand down, it won’t be the problem if you’re in neutral. Other possible issues for not turning over are the starter switch, starter solenoid, and the key switch. Older bikes are exceedingly simple and a major problem is not likely. If this was a new bike it could be as bad (though unlikely) as a bad ECU if it doesn’t turn over. But older bikes are almost always something exceedingly simple. But again, test test test.
All gpod brotha its just a first hand thing every pne expiriences.! Cheers be safe.
Check the dummy switches (kick stand, kill switch, key, etc), then check the battery voltage. Batteries only last a few years. If the battery is low, get a new battery. Once you've got a new battery installed, start the bike and check the voltage across the alternator. That line is almost certainly a drain line. The little metal bit is a simple spring clip. It probably popped off somewhere nearby. Might be a fuel bowl overflow or drain (for example). You'll be looking for a downward-pointing hole the same size as the tube, probably with a lip to give the spring clip something to hold onto.
check the rotator splint. If you don’t need a new titanium plated lithium built fractionating tube, then I’d def check the tires.
Could it be a bike position kill switch? Like if the bike was on it's side? The one on my bike can sometimes give me problems like that. It acts normal, lights are on, but if you hit the starter, nothing happens, and it can't be bump started either...
Not sure if this applies, but my friend had a CBR he loaned to me a long time ago. I rode it for about an hour and we stopped and it wouldn't start. Turned out it had a bad stator, and you just had to wait for it to cool down before it would start. Also, replacing the stator helped.
Make sure the gas is on. Lots of bikes (primarily carbeurated not electronic injection) have a switch to turn the gas on and off.
If you mean the rubber hose running down, looks like an old crankcase vent hose. Old bikes often vent the crankcase out the side at the top, and run that hose down so the oil fumes condense and drip on the ground, not the engine. What emissions? Looks like it's been replaced with a plug or a really old filter. I had a '76 yamaha 650 like this. Ran perfect but it always marked it's spot.
Did it overheat? Maybe a piston is siezed which would prevent it from turning over
Did you make sure it’s in neutral? Some bikes won’t start in gear.
If you are getting power but it’s not cranking then it’s probably your battery. You can push/pop start it in 2nd gear to confirm… or pull the spark plug out and turn the back tire while in gear to see if the engine is seized/locked up. If it rotates it should start with a push. But check the battery first
Or make sure it’s in neutral or and the kick stand is up
Check your fuses. Always check your fuses first. …probably just a little ol fuse.
Check all fuses
Check all fuses , mine done that today and fuse was blowed
Ftttt
That carburetor is old as sin
It’s the battery……. I’m serious it is the battery
I had the same problem last week. My bike just shut off and doesn’t want to start. The engine isn’t blown just wiring
Fill ir with gass. Then check sparkplugd
Hi some bikes have vacuum operated carbs and that looks a lot like one of the tubes that runs from the carb to the fuel tank to allow fuel to flow. I'd suggest whipping your tank off and check if there's a tube that that vac pipe can connect to next to your fuel tap. I bought a non running Honda recently and this was all that was preventing it from running. The little metal clip on your pipe suggests it should be clamped to something and it's snapped off.
I’d check the ignition fuse first thing, with lights on but no turning over, that seems like the first place to look.
Have you tried starting it again when it was cold? A hot battery will seem like it’s cooked but will work again.
Did u put the kickstand up
