Would appreciate any help I can get.
Year:
2009
Background:
Parked the bike for over 6 months because I was gone.
After my return, the bike started just fine but it was time for me to transfer to another location.
The movers wouldn't let ship the bike without a current registration (from HI).
So given the time shortage, I relunctantly rode it to the DMV, then to the safety check spot then back to the DMV-approx. 25miles without being serviced first.
Rode back home and turned it off, then tried to fire it up again and it wouldn't start.
Not a battery problem-I installed a fully charge Shorai battery.
When the starter is engaged, the engine attempts to start but ends in a loud pop/bang and as long as the starter is engaged, the popping continues and the bike doesn't start.
Does anyone have any experience with this? thanks guys.
