Re: My karizma bike will not start....please help
Start with a new spark plug. Do you see spark? If not, check the side stand kill switch. It kills the engine so that you don’t start out with the side stand down. If broken or out of adjustment, it would kill the spark. Check for a broken wire at the side stand switch and coupler. Try moving the kill switch by hand. If that doesn’t work then wire a jumper around the switch to bypass it.
Check the fuses. How good is the battery? Try a jump start from your car battery. Is the handlebar kill switch on?
Check the operation of the ignition switch and all kill switches with a volt ohmmeter. Check the wiring harness. Did a wire come unplugged? Are all wires clean and with solid connections? Any abraded or pinched wires? Is the bike in neutral and the neutral light is lit up? If no neutral light, check the neutral switch and neutral switch wire on center casing. If still no spark, get CDI system and coils checked at the dealers shop.
Got gas and is it turned on? Clean air filter?
Drain the float bowl, it may be filled with water condensation.
carb, head and intake manifold mounted tight?
Have dealer check the CCVI system (Carb Controlled Variable Ignition).
