My Bullet Classic ES is having trouble. Everything was fine a week ago. In fact, i used my horn to say hi to a friend. Then 2 days later, I'm riding home and the guy in front of me doesn't notice the light turned green. I try my horn...silence but a discharge on the ammeter.
Ok...horn is broke. No biggie. I'm riding home the next day and every now and then I get some kinda misfire. Water in the lines? Maybe...its get warm and humid and then a dry cold front comes through. Temps drop drastically within 24 hrs...condensation.
So, start I the bike up to ride to work today. I always kick start. The starter hasn't worked since day 2 of owning the bike (bought it new in March 2006). Figured the battery was too weak to start cold. So I kick start. It warms up, i get on and ride off. The bike stops running on the road. After a few kicks...starts up again and I'm off to work.
As I'm riding, I play with the horn. Horn still doesn't work and I noticed that as I press the horn button, the bike misfires....misses a beat.
8 hours later (after work). I get on to ride home. Took a few kicks, more than usual, but I got it started. It was so many kicks I started to worry. Let it warm up and ride off. The bike kills as soon as I accelerate after a stop sign. Tried kicking over and over again. Luckily a friend from work passed by and gave me a ride home. Had to leave the bike at work.
Could the horn not working, causing a misfire, the misfires in general and then it not running but sometimes starting be related? I'm still new to all this and learning as i go.
Thanks!!
