Hi All,
I have just got hold of a BMW k1100lt Trike (Ex Police bike) which will not start. the lights all work other then indicators which will not turn off once turned on. (happens to both). Starter motor spins and Fuel pump kicks in when the starter is pressed, but machine does not fire up. Battery is showing 12.78 volts. Where should i be looking i am thinking it could be the sprang cluch but looking for other options before going there.
Also i have a heavy duty wire coming off the engine housing that does not go anywhere, any clue ?
i tried to add photo but could not do it. the wire comes from the Bolt that holds the engine to frame on the left side (spark plug side). its the forward bolt just behind the radiator. hope thats enough info. thanks
