My f4 as of Monday, won't start. Started with choke idle, but once I shut off the bike, it wouldn't start at all. All the lights, horn, etc. work, but will not start. Could it be the stator, starter, R/R, or combo of these?

 

When u hit the start button does the starter motor engage and turn the motor over or is the button dead with no power at all??

 

Can you possibly make a video of the bike trying to start. Try putting fresh gas in it, charge the battery and make the video.

 

No, the engine doesn't engage. All I get from hitting the start button, is the headlight & dashboard lights dim & blinks when the start button is pressed.

 

CJ, it has fresh gas & a freshly charged battery. I spoke with a mechanic from a local shop. He quoted that the starter is bad. Would it be advisable to replace the stator & R/R also?

 

Don't know enough about your bike. Generally, replacing the R/R is the only item that needs to be replaced before it brakes. Honda released a finned model that replaced the old one, its much better and less prone to fail. I couldn't tell you whats wrong with your bike because we don't know too many of the symptoms. just that when you press the start button the lights dim. Are you in neutral when you try to start the bike? Could be the clutch or side-stand switches. A connection could be unplugged even. I'll be gone over the weekend but I'll talk to my friend about it.
