freight on mail order tires? (nklr)

[b]I would suspect a loose connection at the battery terminals, solenoid connections or at the starter.  Make sure your battery is fully charged and your terminal connections are clean and tight.  There has also been problems with the starter push button that you might check if everything else checks out good.[/b] [b][/b]  [b]Let us know if this fixes your problem.[/b] [b][/b]  [b]Fred[/b] [b][/b]

Immediately there is no juice to anything.  I try again a few minutes later and not a hint of a problem, it lights up and starts normally.  I shut down and try again. Headlight comes on and idiot lights just as they should.  Hit the Start button and all electricity is lost again, the instant the button is pressed. Repeated attempts of turning on the ignition and attempting to start are fruitless until a few minutes pass, then everything works just fine. Is this some kind of capacitor problem?  A short? Any ideas appreciated. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Visit the KLR650 archives at http://www.listquest.com/lq/search.html?ln=klr650 Support Dual Sport News... dsneditor@...

Mark, There are web retailers that offer free shipping on purchases over $100 (or more). I like using Dennis Kirk because their service is reliable & they will meet a competitor's price if you point it out to them at the time of your order. They also have great free catalogs (dirt, street, atv, harley, watercraft, & snowmobile). I have the dirt/street/atv catalogs. There is also some useful information in their catalogs, such as tire size cross reference charts. BTW, many of Fred's prices are the same as Dennis Kirk. If we all bought more stuff from Fred, maybe he could afford a real (non-Honda) bike like we all ride (G!). Happy hunting, Professor A9 Federal Way, WA.
