TROUBLE SHOOTING
The following issues are examples of situations you might face while riding your Ridley Motorcycle. Please review
them carefully for full instructions on how to handle each incident in the event you face one of them.
SITUATION: Starter won’t engage when start button is pressed.
SOLUTION: MAKE SURE THE KEY SWITCH IS IN ONE OF THE “ON” POSITIONS.
MAKE SURE THE “RUN/STOP” SWITCH IS IN THE “RUN” POSITION.
MAKE SURE THE REAR OR FRONT BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED DURING STARTING.
SITUATION: Motor cranks but won’t start.
SOLUTION: If the motor is cold, make sure the choke is “ON”.
Make sure the gas is turned on.
Make sure there is sufficient gas in the tank.
SITUATION: The motorcycle takes off with a jerky or slipping feel.
SOLUTION: The primary belt is beginning to show a little wear. Replace the primary belt.
SITUATION: The transmission makes a “clunking” sound when I slow down.
SOLUTION: The transmission clutch requires regular lubrication maintenance. See Transmission Maintenance
Schedule.
SITUATION: Battery condition light is not “green” while motor is idling.
SOLUTION: As long as the LED is green when the bike is moving, you are OK. You may want to plug your bike
into the maintenance charger provided, to insure the battery is in top condition.
SITUATION: Black dust accumulates on the left side of the engine.
SOLUTION: This is normal belt wear dust. It should blow off easily.
SITUATION: After washing the motorcycle it doesn’t seem to move when I apply the throttle.
SOLUTION: The primary belt is wet. Allow a few minutes for the belt to dry. Do not use excessive throttle to
move the motorcycle. You could damage the drive belt. If you can gently get the bike moving, the
belt will dry almost instantly.
SITUATION: Fuel runs out of the carburetor overflow tubes under the motorcycle.
SOLUTION: This indicates a small spec of dirt may have gone through the fuel filter and is now stuck under a
valve in the carburetor not allowing it to shut the gas off (under the needle). To fix this condition,
turn the petcock to the “OFF” position and run the engine until the engine stops (runs out of
gas). This allows the valve to close once the dirt has been pulled out of the system. Turn the fuel
to the “ON” position and restart the engine. If the problem continues, please contact your Ridley
Dealer immediately.
