Had a tough day with the bike, almost had to have it towed, but learned a good tip that made the trouble worth while: When I was at the Hollywood Electrics shop, when I turned on the bike to drive it into the shop, and later when I turned on the bike to leave, the contactor wouldn't click on (as has happened before), and the bike wouldn't move. The first time Harlan just pushed the bike into the shop from behind. When I was leaving, the problem disappeared after a few seconds of jiggling the bike and the throttle and the ingnition.
But about 20 miles later I stopped at a store for a coke, and when I tried to start the bike up it was dead again. Spent about an hour trying everything from jiggling to turning off and on to rocking the bike and even removing the right side cover and finger-pushing wires to make sure they were securely contacting. The bike wouldn't budge, even though the cycle analyst was showing as much as 76.9 volts (I had brought the big Zivan with me and was charging while at the Hollywood shop.)
In desperation I called Martin, who pretty much knew what some of the problem was but wasn't familiar enough with my bike system to know of an easy way to bypass it. However, Martin called Todd Kallin, who did know, and relayed the information: after removing the LEFT side cover, (which has one screw and a couple of snap-on fasteners holding it on) and looking underneath the controller, deep inside near the mud splash guard (on the inside of the splash guard of course) is the contactor. The contactor has a round silver button-like protrusion on the side facing you as you look in, which can be manually pushed to tell the bike it's time to ride. When you push it, you hear the sweet click that means everything is ready to go.
Remember this one if you have a GPR-S, because it could save you a lot of trouble! It might not work if you don't have a 2009 model, however. But regardless, if nothing else is working, you might want to look under that left side cover...
