That's when things got a bit hairy. We unload the her nice into the yard, and it doesn't fire up as well as it did before. Then from what I assume leaving the lights on, it doesn't turn over at all. I charge the battery for a minute, turns on fine. I decided then I'd gear up and take my maiden voyage. I am very excited hop on and take a few laps around my property. I come to a turn slow down to a stop and it shuts off completely, almost as if stalled but I had the clutch fully engaged.
When I go to cycle the power and turn the engine back on all the dials light up, it struggles, but some odd things happen. The RPM meter goes all the way to red real fast as if surging, the engine is still struggling to turn on. Then it's nothing. I charged the battery for a while but still, nothing. When I press the start button I hear the starter click on but there is not even an attempt to turn over. The previous owner said he replaced the stator recently and new spark plugs.
My thoughts are 2 things, there is some kind of internal electrical failure or it's hydrolocked. This is my first bike so any maintenance on it will be novice at best so I am really trying to diagnose wether this can be a quick fix, I need a proper mechanic, or if I was totally sold a lemon and I should scrap this for parts.
I pulled the bike into the garage, popped the side plates off (again, I made the previous owner take them off so I could take a look at everything and it all seemed fine to me). I pop the bike on the center stand and what do I see, two pieces of tubing, of different material dangling loosely in the chassis. Of course when I call the seller his phone is disconnected; and remember. He is moving. I've attached some pictures, I hope someone here has some insight. Hoping for the best, planning for the worst.
