So, earlier this morning I take the Duc out to Radio Shack to get some parts to make a tag light. I come back home and park it, everything's fine. I hop on it a few hours later to run to the store, it won't start
The fuel pump is coming on, but I'm getting no fuel and no spark. Anyone ever had similar issues? I need this bike running, as it's my main mode of transportation.
After a little research, I discovered that it could be the crankshaft position sensor. So, I pulled it and cleaned it off. Shure enough that was my problem. It's running silky-smooth now
Funny... I had a no start condition the other day too- up near the top of one of our canyons, where I stopped for a "comfort" break at one of the facilities.
Tried everything I could while out in the boonies with not many tools. Totally frustrated... then I realized I had used the Kill Switch to stop the motor since I was on a certain incline and could not comfortably reach up to use the key... DUH!
Felt like a real fool , but it started easy once I turned the switch ON!
Something else easily over looked is the starter relay up under the dash, mine has worked loose more than once, I now use a few zip ties to hold it in place.
Here is where the crankshaft position sensor (I believe that's what it is) is located, courtesy of the Monster section:
