What is wrong with my motorcycle? - 2


Ahhh - I think i'm cursed with vehicles.

Bought a used Honda Shadow 2007 1100cc Cruiser about 10 days ago. Have been riding it daily without a problem. Was planning on going on a 200 mile camping trp tomorrow morning. However - while riding it tonight - it turned off on me…

I rode about 3 blocks from home and then it turned off and would not start back up. Its not a battery problem - it all lights up - and it tries to turn over. However it just doesnt go.

I've been playing with the choke a lot while starting it up because its a colder part of the year and it needs to have the choke on when starting.

I'm particularly new to riding bikes so I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm ******* bummed and frustrated though. I disconnected two plugs from the engine tonight and will reconnect tomorrow and try to start it.

If anyone can give me some feedback on what they think could be wrong - and what I can do to fix it - let me know. Thanks.
