  YES KLRish In Michigan (& near by states) we have Great Lakes Dual Sport Motorcycle club" (.org) And 1 person received about 18 responses to "ASSISTANCE" in the topic line. His bike ran fine last fall when put into storage mode, yet when he hits the start button NOTHING, NO CLICK AT ALL. As you would expect from bikers everyone came to the "rescue" with advice to try and help. 1st thing he did was install a New battery. Nope not it. Then all the other stuff he and the others could think of. EXCEPT, He forgot that when he parked it, OOP'S, IT WAS IN GEAR! Moral of the story, many of us will forget the simplest, tinniest things, as we get the BEAST out of storage mode. ME? Even Daily, I try to never park the bike in gear, in the garage, since I walk up to it on the RIGHT SIDE, and if both cars are in the drive I often push it out, SOOOO I park it in neutral, and IF I forget?, I grab the bars and YANK BACKWARDS, and if in gear OUCH to the elbows etc. SPRING IS HERE Remember the SMALLEST details, make a check list, before "FEELING FOOLISH" when asking for help on why your bike will not start etc.. LOL PS. WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, AND RETURNED A FEW TIMES MORE. LOL
