Lord help me, I've just bought a 02-03 FSE 400 and yes, you guessed it, cannot start the thing either by key, kickstart or clutchstart.
I have read of the required upgrades/modifications to make the machine easier to start, particularly from the key, and want to make sure I have my info correct. I am also very much hoping to get contact details (preferrably email addresses or websites) of those places which can supply the required parts.
Please understand I am in Australia, so need to have items shipped accordingly.
So far I am aware of the following requirements -
manual chain tensioner to replace automatic unit
'04 gearset for starter motor
'04 kickstart lever
Of the above, the ks lever I can probably source domestically.
Any help in regards to these or other required/worthwhile mods to make this bike start will be most gratefully received. She's a lovely bit of gear, but I really would like to ride it, not just admire it!
Cheers, Sam.
