My wife recently bought her first bike, buell blast 500, she been doing good on it, however we were leaving a gas station the other day and while pulling up to red light it fell over, I picked it up for her, but while trying to start it we hear this loud pop coming from what I thought was the air filter? Now it won't start. It doesn't click like its a bad starter. I can hear it turning just doesn't complete the cycle enough to start. Any ideas? U guys have helped me out a lot with my sportster lol

 

Check the obvious stuff first like the plug wire and Spark plug. As well look for any damage to the carburetor. It may be something that is easily detected. Eliminate fuel and fire from the equation first.

 

I am getting a lot of google hits with, "buell blast won't start".

 

is there a bank angle sensor?

 

The Buell Blast was a really odd duck. It is a very troubled bike. My buddies bought them as starter bikes and had nothing but trouble... I know this doesn't help with your problem, but that's why there are a lot of "Buell Blast won't start" hits.

 

This is what Erik Buell thought of the Blast.

 

I've never seen that before. Pretty great. Sad to see the road that Buell went...

Yea was a very simple fix. Didn't realize the hose going from the carb to the motor came off. Fixed it starts. Yea I'm that much of an idiot.

 

Wow! Simplest things first, huh? I wouldn't have thought about that either.
