Hello, first time poster having problems
I have a 13 plate RE Classic 500, earlier this year coming back from the TT it stopped and I had to recovered, electrics died, when I checked it over a fuse had blown, once replaced it started and ran ok, left it for a while came to start it again using the kickstart and the fuse blew again, then every time i replaced the fuse it blew, I assumed a short circuit, disconnected sidestand switch, rear lights/indicators, clutch switch etc, still the same, left it another month, moved the bike so I could get all around it, replaced fuse and it was ok, started up on button, ran...... all good but I still haven't found the problem. when I turn the ignition on, the fuel pump primes, when i try to kick it over the fuel pump primes again half way down the "kick" I never noticed this before, should it be doing this ( I have been told it will do this at TDC, but it does it every kick) It does start up whilst kicking over but only when i twist the throttle, which I didn't need to do before. very confused Thanks
