So its a beautiful hot summer afternoon and im cruising down a newly paved highway loving every minute of it, when i decide i better check my helmet wind vents cause its getting hot as balls in here. So i take my right hand off and begin to go around my helmet making sure they are all open. As i bring my hand back to the bars and go to grab some throttle i get nothing. I try it again, no response, zilch, zip, nadda, nothing. Now im pulling the clutch in, shifting around, freaking out cause im going 80 down this highway with a dead bike... After 10 seconds of panic i realize as i brought my hand back to the throttle i hit the kill switch by accident... Idiot... So from there i proceed to restart my bike going 80 and act like nothing happened..:flex:

This ever happen to you guys?

All the time lol but I never engage the clutch when I mess with my vents so my bike just sputters and slows as if I just dropped the throttle. Just flip the switch back and off I go!

Happened to me once, freaked me out when I didn't really hear my engine/exhaust anymore.

 

[Mario J]

never happened to me... I use my left hand to check the vents... or I check them before riding oke

 

[mintsoda]

That's no bueno. That could have easily ended bad due to the fact your cornering is heavily weighted on the power of the motor. At least you didn't drift out wide and hit a curb, guardrail, car or something.

I will sometimes reach over and red switch my buddies while riding. Most of the time at stoplights so it looks like they stalled their bike but sometimes while we're riding. :lmao


oh, and sometimes if my HID's don't fire, I'll have to turn the bike off and back on while riding.

happend to me at a red light once or twice.... ill lever forget the 2nd day i had my bike i got gas and it wouldnt start lol i didnt realize the kickstand was down lol

 

[xantonin]

So to restart the bike, do you just flip the red switch back to on?

You don't have to activate the starter right? Because I thought that's what you meant be "re-started" your bike, and that doesn't sound right.

 

[DTcrew4]

yes, you have to hit the starter switch again.

+1 to the HID situation . . . maybe i was just sh!tty at installing them tho

nah, that's just HID's. Sometimes they just don't fire. At least that's my understanding. Not a big deal, just pull in the clutch-kill switch-turn key-starter switch-good to go. :toocool:
