Thx guys, I pulled the connector apart inspected it, looked new. sprayed it with contact cleaner and it fired right up. weird. I thought perhaps there was some priming issue. this bike only has 2450 miles on it. I put some taller bars on it it fits me much better now. I have some early 850 eldos. I really like them. Im liking this one too. Hits very hard under power. I am looking forward to building a mid pipe, and a muffler, loading a beetle map. Thx Ken
