I just bought this bike, it started before but now it will not. It has 971 miles but possibly the trans is messed up.

The night before I bought it fired up but with real bad clattering problems when it was turning over, last night I had trouble getting it into nuetral but now it literally does nothing when I push the start button. Please help!

OOWW, don't know much about Blasts, but hope you got a "REAL" good price for it, can you manually turn the engine over, put it in 2nd gear and "pretend", to push start it, I'm scared it may have "locked up", from the knock/clattering, either in the tranny or the engine

Welcome to the "other" forum! see you made your way across from the GS forum. [up]

Hope you get as good advice here and get your blast rolling quickly. :)

most of the blast guys hang out Here (http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/20164/20164.html?1342554885) or Here (http://buellridersonline.com/forum/forum.php)

@uly luigi-When it ran it sounded really good, no smoke, ticking or anything but it has a really loud exhaust so it might have drowned it out.

@wally-I'm still getting used to it here, I noticed you can't quote someone like on the other one. As for running, I hope to have a Blast on my Blast, soon.

@Daali- Thanks brother.:)

That could be a multitude of things, including a blown motor. Check compression and rule out engine problems and then proceed from there.

Cool, so where does that leave you - only transmission problems to sort out or not sure yet?

Not sure yet Wally, it's going to a shop in the next week or so. Hopefully they can figure it out without too much expense. lol yeah right.

Did you figure out the issues?

On the start issue it could very well be just the battery.

On the trans issue, follow my guide step by step. Only costs a few hours of your time, and a few dollars with the detent plate and clip.

Cripes, I should have just bought your bike for the parts I just ordered. oil pump and pinion gear $442

Funny ass thing, I posted a ad and people were offering cash left and right within 5 minutes. I go out to the garage and start moving it and the transmission is rotating with no issues. The chain is off of it so there is no more binding, the engine rotates too, sounds like it has compression.

So I think the issue could be just on the primary side. I know it will need a Clutch Cable, Clutch, Cable O Ring, Clutch, Primary Cover, Primary Gasket and a Primary Tensioner.
