falco wont start after dying, wtf?
i am not very mechanically inclined, but slowly learning.
i did my oil change a few days ago, and noticed after a few rides that oil was dripping from somewhere. very minute amount, after the bike sits after a ride. i went out this morning to see if i can find the leak. i cleaned up the bottom where it has been dripping from, just to see if i can trace the leak back to its origin. i figured the only places it can be leaking were from the drain nut or the oil filter seal. after the cleanup i started the bike. bike ran (with a bit of choke) until the temp guage read about 45C. i cut the choke and the bike died. no suprise there, my falco hates running cold and most of the time refuses to. after ot died though i heard this faint tick, almost from the rear shock area, ticking and gradually slowing down, until it faded away. i thought exhaust cooling, but i only had the engine running for maybe a minute. when i went to start it again, it didnt turn. i heard the injectors zizzing, but no turn, no ignition. my EFI started blinking on the console. i tried shutting it off, and still nothing but the injectors. im very confused, i have neer had any problem starting the bike, even when sitting unused for over a month.
any thoughts are appreciated....
