Two days ago was the first time I looked at it in at least 11 years.
I can't get the fuel cap unlocked. I hooked up a car battery and got it powered up.
The first thing I did was take the front brake calipers off. Looks like it was the left one that was seized.
The fuel sensor is thoroughly rusted.
Has oil. Engine manually turns easily.
Plan is to attach car battery via jumper cables, put the fuel line in a bottle of fuel, and try to start it. Carbs will definitely need cleaned, at least.
Hooked up jumper cables. Confirmed clutch and kickstand switches work. Only get a click. Haven't managed to get it into neutral. People recommended rolling it to help shift.
Rolling worked beautifully for getting it into neutral. Now I'm getting repeated clicks. Nothing from the starter. "it's either a bad starter or not enough juice", "bad brushes in the starter motor have always been the cause of click-but-no-start conditions" Rolling it forward in second gear while starting got it to repeatedly click while in gear, but no starter movement. So, guessing bad starter brushes.
<bmatt> Darxus: cables got warm during your attempted start?
<bmatt> that suggests to me that the starter motor itself is energized, i.e. making good contact but can't turn
<bmatt> could you roll the bike with the starter solenoid engaged?
<Darxus> bmatt: Yes? I rolled it in gear while pushing the starter button, and got repeated clicking.
<bmatt> that makes me think the starter motor itself (or maybe even the bike's engine) is seized
<bmatt> you could try percussive maintenance pro tempore, but yeah starter motors aren't generally considered to be serviceable
