Hey Mark, this is Mark (in Olympia), I have been through that irritating problem. I could always get it started with a push when it would act up. That just confused things. It just won't turn over, was my problem. When it does work, you are proving that everything IS in working order, yet sometimes you get that exasperating 'nothing happens' when you click the starter, yet all the lights are there and it is awake.
Now, I need to try to remember what I decided it was. All the wiring is likely fine, but regardless, I strongly recommend you do the fuse box maintenance that Kyle outlines <http://nighthawk.kylemunz.com/?p=166>. It just *needs to be done* on something that old, and once it is done you'll have peace that nothing in there is a weak point going forward. However, You never mention that you opened the starter, did you? You need to look in there, check the brushes and blow/clean out all the carbon dust. That is a quick, black, job. *Clutch/In-gear Start* or restart-after-stalled-at-stop-light The switch that allows starting in gear, so you don't have to be in neutral, that is under the clutch lever and typically the spring, that looks like the spring from a click-pen, pushes on that switch when you clutch. The spring is probably gone or the switch has become unplugged. It's really nice to get that back. Not likely to be your problem, just a common irritation in those. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
