Mike. Thanks so much for the advice! I'll be sure to keep that in mind should I come across any issues in the future!

Yah... I forgot to mention it! I assumed it only fit back in one way... I didn't realize you could fit it in both ways. I took it off when I was cleaning the surfaces and preparing them for mating.

SOLVED! My mechanic came by and noticed that my ignition pick up was upside down! I reinstalled it correctly and it fired right up! Runs like new. Thanks again for everyone who gave me suggestions.

Wow. Okay, thanks again for your immense help. So just to review the procedure, I should open the throttle fully while pressing the ignition starter for 15 seconds? And then, I should wait 15 seconds for the starter to recover, and then repeat?

Very helpful! Thank you!

Is the tilt sensor under the gas tank as well?

I'm beginning to feel this way as well. The 99% was just a figure of speech. For all intents and purposes, the clutch pack was installed without defect. Fuel additives and starter fluid were recommended by professional mechanic. After reading the manual, I think it may have to do with the...

I have! I opened the throttle both for 5 seconds before pushing the ignition starter and have tried opening the throttle while pushing the ignition starter. I have held the starter from 10-15 seconds each time. I’m worried I’ll damage something if I hold any longer.

Hi there, I am having issues starting my Honda CB650R 2019. To give some background to my predicament, I bought the bike used and it had previously sat for a month. It started up fine when I bought it, but the clutch plates needed to be replaced. I towed it home and it has sat in my garage for...
