Bike jumped into gear while starting and fell over
So long story, I went to start my bike this morning and did what I normally do, key, ON, choke, make sure its in Neutral, push button- Nothing. Sputter but thats it. Didnt even try to turn over. I did this a few times. I even took the air filter out and sprayed starter fluid into the carbs. BTW, my K&N air filter smelled like gas. I figured a flooded it so I let it sit for an hour. Went down to start it again. Same steps as before. I hit start the bike jumps into gear moves far enough for the kickstand to go up and BOOM, right down to the floor. I happened so fast I couldnt grab it. Luckily my bike is naked so no plastics. All that broke was the bar end mirror. Now I smell gas very strong so I'm not going to try and start it. What should I do? THis bike is frustrating me. One day its fine and will start with the first push other days nothing.

Re: Bike jumped into gear while starting and fell over
Here's a link for adjusting your valves. Not expensive at all, but a bit time consuming.

Re: Bike jumped into gear while starting and fell over
Ok. I will get them off tomorrow after summer school. It's supposed to rain anyway so I will have something to do.
