It almost sounds like it isn't getting any fire! I heard the fuel pump prime up. Can you smell and gas coming from the exhaust when you are turning it over? Also with the lights on the dash going off and on seems to me your battery is very weak. I myself would check the plugs to see if they are firing.Looked at the video twice and when I start my X my dash lights don't do that unless my battery is weak. Wish I was closer would help ya out! Good luck and let us know how you come out.
if battery is fairly new you can get replacement?my 1800 did that one time and was a bad cell on baterry, battery would charge and show charged but wont trow the amps to turn the bike over, the 1800 needs lots of battery to start. Same deal on the wing, battery can show charge but if battery is just a tinny bitte off it wont turn over quick enough.

Ok I missed most of the AFC championship game, but I feel like I've been having sex today, well not with my wife, just sex. That is what riding after zero riding in many weeks is like for me. Ahh got my therapy. OK back to the bike. Ran several errands and put about 50+ miles on it. Each time I turned it off there was some anxiety if it will start or not. Sometimes it made me worry with the crank that is not always quick and sure. Thinking about many many years ago in my teens and it seemed everyone had a VW bug or whatever, solenoids on them were always deciding when they would work and when the wouldn't. I remember that sometimes tapping it with something would occasionally work. Do you all think that could be my problem? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it has that labored crank? Ken
