I purchased a Cafe Racer and I have never operated a bike this old.
It arrived today, I am told the battery is brand new and charged... but I have no idea how to start it.
The guy I got it from drained all gas for transit, and so i put a gallon in.
What do I do to start the thing?
The key has three postions... off and two others (at least one of which I assume is on... I have tried both)
There is a red switch on the right handle that has two off postions and one run.... I assume thats some sort of electrical switch? I have it to run
The gas is open... but no lights come on and when I kick it there doesnt even seem to be a spark.
Is there some sort of electrical kill somewhere that I am missing?
This is a bit humiliating... I am not an idiot. Honest.
