The bike starts if it is upright, but when it is resting on its ''aftermarket'' kickstand, the engine only turns over and will not start. Do you guys have an idea what is going on? Any and all information will be apreciated!

Are there any electrical wires coming from the kickstand?1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

No, it is only a 78, I think it might have to do with the carbs or something. If the kickstand is sticking out while the bike is upright, it starts. It is really only if the bike is leaning on the side.
Also, is the bike designed for a center-stand? It looks like there are holes to fit one.
Once again, any theories are accepted, I really have no clue what is wrong with it!

Maybe the float height is messed up and the mixture is off with the bike tilted to the side.Ed
To measure is to know.

That's what I'd surmise. Or, maybe there is leaking float valve or two.Originally posted by Nessism View PostComment
