Hit my starer button while on the road

Riding home at 12:30 a few mornings ago I reached over to adjust my brake lever and hit my start button for a second...saw my headlights flash. No problem with anything as of yet...can that damage anything? Hope not...never done that in all the years of riding. Just concerned since reading all these problems with 02's and electrical issues. OK, tanks mang
STARTER ....dur...cant fix the thread title.

 

Starter clutch won't engage with engine running, no damage done.

 

EXCELLENT... thanks

 

No, I think with that avatar you got the title right...

 

Also, your lights went out by design. When you press start, it kills all non-essential electronics in order to give all available power to the starter. Lights are non-essential when starting.

 

Good to know...ML
Glad you like it vfrcapn...

You can however avoid this by forwarding this message to 25 people within the next 2 days

 

She will be fine, if you worry about the electrical issue just check all the wires for burn marks everytime you change the oil.
Or just give the bike to be so I can keep an eye on the issue
Keep on riding Bro. ATGATT :thumb:

 

Ok buddy.....

WHEW you are lucky for the seat failure!! The start button becomes a seat eject button once in gear nthego:

 

That starer is a goner for sure.

 

Leave the poor guy alone... he is concerned about his baby as we all are when we do things we aren't sure about.

 

yeah what he said......

Just playin' with ya.....like a bunch of us used to here in the old days!! If several hadn't already said all was good I wouldn't have :boink: :biggrin:

 

I used to run a tank bag on the viffer when I first got it, on full lock up the starter button would hit the buckle of the tank bag. Like Squirrel sed aboove, no worries. I did turn off a bike on a morning commute in the fog once, was trying to straighten oot a key fob fuk-up with some remotes that are attached to my chit. Next thing I know, I am coasting along in the dark, I turned the key back on and "Houston, we don't have a problem."

 

what about wide open throttle start

 

I believe that would give you a loud BANG. Some people used to turn off their bikes while traveling through a tunnel here and then re-start them with WOT and "Bang" a far oot back fire, sometimes with flames. :rockband: its all good in the neighborhood.

 

no bang just a roar, I guess it was more like half throttle
