I recently installed 2 inch risers and now the bike won't start. I don't know if the two are related, but here are the details.
I rode home, 30 miles, let the bike cool down and installed the risers. A 10 minute job, but I noticed the clutch cable and brake lines were very tight. After a little research, I found the riser manufacturer sells a kit to move the cables/lines to allow a little extra length, and I installed that as well. The "kit" is actually a few parts that simply removes the OEM brackets holding the lines. After completion, I pulled the bike out, turned left and right to full extention and seemed to have enough length.
When I tried to start the bike it turns over, gives a cough or two, but never fires up. I've tried full throttle. I've disconnected and reconnected the clutch wire. I've tried ignition in neutral and in 1st gear with the clutch lever depressed, on the center stand and with both stands up. After several attempts the battery still seems go have plenty of power. I don't think this is the"hard start" as I've waited several hours between attempts and given it WOT with no success.
Any ideas or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
