First bike ever and I'm really excited. I love the way it looks and the sound of pipes is much better than I thought they would be.

Only bad news is that after getting the bike "delivered", I went out to start it up for my wife.

click click click click.

It's like the battery is dead or a bad solenoid or something. The previous owner said he'd fix it up for me. Either replace the solenoid or battery or whatever it is.
We'll put it on a battery charger tomorrow.
Mine did the same thing after I deployed on short notice and kind of just left it sitting there. It was indeed the battery as these Gentlemen have stated. A day on the charger and it started right up. Good looking scoot, congratulations.

Thanks everyone!

The charger fixed her right up. Starts up like a dream now.
I guess that ten to fifteen minutes or so of me dinkin' around without starting it drained the battery down.

I flipped the mirrors on my friends iron, I just adjusted them with the bars on full lock either way so they didn't hit the tank, took 5 mins!

I could be wrong, but I think for users to see pictures, the user must have a minimum post count.

On my Iron the left side mirror still hit the tank no matter what I did so I took the extra step of loosening my left side controls and rotating them slightly, then the mirror did not hit my tank anymore.
