Layed it down and now won't start
Layed it down and now won't start
Ok I want to get everybody's opinion here. First of all the bike is a 96 f3. I was riding yesterday afternoon and some jerk in a cage ran me off the road as I was going to turn, hit gravel and high sided. Have some cosmetic damage but I know how to fix that stuff. I think I was knocked unconscious because I don't remember hitting the ground and woke up in a ditch laying in water. Bike was just sputtering to a stop. I took a minute to see if anything was broken on me then crawled up to the bike.
Tried to restart it and the battery was acting like it was dead. Tried it once or twice over the next couple hours and still nothing. Note that the battery was installed by the Honda shop not even 2 weeks ago. Also somebody said something about a Bank Angle Sensor. WHERE THE &^%& is that at and what does it look like? HELP ME!!!! I have monday and tuesday to get it back running again.

Check the simple things, make sure your Engine Kill switch on the right Clip-On is turned on. I don't use mine to turn my bike on or off, so it throws me for a loop if it gets inadvertantly turned off. Do you hear a click when you hit the Starter button ? Does it turn over ? It's common for bikes hat end up on their sides to foul the plugs.
These bikes don't have a Bank Angle Sensor. Most if not all fuel injected bikes would have that, but not a carbureted bike.

i'm sore but making a doctor's appointment right now. lets get some drugs!!! but no, no rash or broken bones. I was geared up. thank god for wearing a hooded sweatshirt under my racing jacket. helped absorb the impact of me landing on my head and kept my neck straight.
My wife's cousin goes around to car dealerships and fixes all the cars that have scratches, dings, and cracks. He said he'd do it for a case of beer. lol He even said he would match the custom yellow. I have ordered new mirrors and have new brake controls ordered too.
