The bike has been running fine, starts and runs fine for two weeks now. That is the length of time I have had it. I ride almost every day.
Today I tried to start it and placed the choke on, turned the ignition on(everything lit up fine), and hit the starter button. The fuel pump turned on( I could hear it in the tank),
and the starter tried to turn the engine over but it would not start. I tried for a good 10 minutes.
Then something funny happened, The starter kept turning over even after I took my thumb off the button. I hit the kill switch and it was still turning over, I flipped the ignition key off and it still turned over for a good 30 seconds before it stopped on its own.
I just cant seem to get the bike started, out of the blue. Ideas please? Thank you.
