The headlight mount bracket was bent so I removed it
There was a wire I had to cut to remove the cowl bracket above.
Just put new levers on today
Shifter is broken but you can grab it with pliers and shift with the clutch in
I'm also pretty sure it was running when I went down and slapped the kill switch
Please help to get my bike back on the road. Thanks everyone
You cut wires and things aren't working, sounds good. (not really!).
First off charge up the battery, clean all the connections to that.
Try again.
If a no-go and this being on the kickstand side the kickstand 'down' sensor may be a fault.
Since it sat for awhile.old ethanol fuel may have gone sour.
There is a list other other things but that 'cut' wireis on the top of the list.
Nice bike... bummer dude. Take off all of the fairings so you can get at everything. One of the downsides of going down is the battery is lying on its side and leaks acid onto your bike, thereby stripping the paint from the battery box and corroding it. Might be a good idea to remove the battery and the battery box and brush the box and bike tubing thoroughly with a baking soda + water paste to neutralize the dried battery acid (assuming a lead-acid battery). If you catch it in time you may not have to repaint the battery box and whatever else is corroded.
1. Charge the battery.
2. Figure out what wire you cut.
3. Check fluids.
4. Start bike.
Make sure you inspect the fork trees, forks, swingarm, chain, wheels/tires, bearings, etc. before even thinking about driving it.
