My first response would be that you need to roll your starter over. Put the bike in 1st gear and roll it forwards a few feet. This will roll the starter to a different spot and it may then engage. It sounds like a starter problem to me. HotrodMamma.

Just my first impulse however. Are you able to turn the engine over by hand? -Joey On Sun, Aug 1, 2010 at 9:30 AM, McMean <[email protected]> wrote: My '84 CB450SC is slowly coming along.
