iron sportster 2010 harley sportster intermittent starting problem?
I have a brand spanking new Iron 883, it just passed 1000 miles. Intermittently, pressing the start button will result in no action - nothing. No cranking, no add'l lights on the console, nothing. Sometimes I'll remove the key, start over, nothing. Other times, that fixes it. Sometimes it seems like if I put in neutral it will resolve the issue. Typically I start it in first with the clutch disengaged. Makes no diff if I shut the engine off with the key or the "off" switch. Normally I shut down the engine with the key, leaving the "run" button on. It always starts eventually after one or two retries, but its annoying. I am about to take it in for the 1000 mile service, but thought I'd give my issue a shot here. Thanks in advance.
The starter button is either corroded or defective either way it's under warranty so get it to the dealership and make it right.
I need some help picking a bike. I am 28 years old, 6 foot and 180lbs. I have never been on a motorcycle before just sat on some at the dealership. The price of the 883 Iron is a little steep, but I plan on financing a bike as my car will be paid off in a few months. I have my seat reserved for MSF classes and just need to plan ahead. I have all my gear to make the ride a little safer. I have also spent the last few months researching and researching. I need to get some riders opions who can think back to when they first rode.
I decided to pick the 09 883 Iron because it was the same price of any other cruiser in its class and I like the style of the bike. I've read endless comments on how people drop their bikes like "why would you buy a new bike when you'll most likely drop it". Have you parked your car in a parking lot before. You can't keep something new forever, $hit will happen.
Anyways, sorry for the rambling. Any advice will work.
I am a 48 year old woman. I'm 5'4 and one hundred 40 pounds. Three years ago I took a motorcycle safety course. I tried out several different bikes and then I bought an 883 low. It was the best thing I ever did. I spent two summers riding and learning on the sweetest little bike ever. Last summer I felt confident enough, and went out and bought myself a fatboy. I have never regretted either purchase, and am loving life more every day!
I have never dropped either bike...ever.
Sounds to me like you have done your homework.. and you are taking the safety course. You are doing everything right. Good luck, have a great time, and don't let other peoples comments rain on your parade!!
