Hi all,
Well I have been having problems with the ol' Scrambler as of late. I drove it to work on Monday, like I do every day, and after stopping for fuel, bike wouldn't start.
I assumed it was an issue with my side stand sensor (since it sometimes gives me troubles) but that was not the case. The bike just wouldn't start in gear. I had to shift into neutral before starting. Rode on Tuesday no problems, starting each time in neutral. Flash forward to this morning. Went out to start the bike, nope. Bike was in neutral, no light, wouldn't shift into first or second, wouldn't "shift" into neutral so the light would turn on. Tried rolling the bike back and forth to get it out of the dead zone, nope. I didn't have time to fiddle around too much, since I had to get to work. Thank goodness I live near a train station so I could just jump on and get to work, but I am still a sad panda knowing that I have to deal with this bullshit when all I want to do is ride the last few good days of the season.
Any ideas of what I might try to at least get it to limpin'?
Thanks!
