Venom Z250 won’t start

Dustoff42 · 08-07-2022, 12:29 AM

Hey guys. I’m new to all this and had my bike for only a couple of weeks now. I started my bike today and let it run for a minute. Then killed it by turning the key. I came back literally ten minutes later and out my key in. It turn, the lights come on and I hear the fuel injector pump. But the key stops and it won’t let me start the bike. It’s like all of a sudden it just is broken. I had just put the side mirrors on and had to loosen the part where ya attack them where the clutch is attached but other than that nothing else was touched. And ideas? I’m lost on this one. Everything I find online is about the engine turning but this isn’t doing anything.

Is the kill switch off? You might of accidentally hit it. Also make sure you accidentally unplug the clutch safety switch wire.

Wait ... Are you trying to turn the key to start the bike, or are you pressing the start switch after turning the key?

Yes the kill switch is not on. I ran the bike a few times now and even right before. One of the metal tabs for the clutch switch is jiggly. That can’t be good can it?

Sorry I misspoke. I press the button to start it and nothing happens.

Thank you everyone that answered. Found the issues. The clutch switch had a screw loose and and made one of the connectors loose. Tightened and fixed.
