Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Cycle not having power to take off

Post by dhreed »

Hi, I have a 1993 Voyager XII. This happens occasionally and it is bad when it does. I will park it turn it off. When I start it back, it will not take off. It dies. It acts like it is in a high gear. If I am on a hill, I can get it going but if not, I am stuck. Does anybody have a solution to this problem or what is causing it?
Thanks
Doug

Do you downshift to 1st before you come to a stop,then shut it off in 1st? We need to know a little more about the pattern you use when you come up to a stop,so we can better help you.I don't know if something can happen to the shift drum to allow it to go from 1st to 5th,someone else will have to answer that. :thk:

Are you sure you are putting your kickstand back up? The bike won't go if it is down.
