650 ds runs while start buttons pressed
 

pretty much what it says i have a 2000 650 ds and i can only get it to run while i hold the start button it will idle and rev up but as soon as i let off the start button it cuts off?? i figured a wire or something melted and looked it over and couldnt find nothing soo any help would be much appreciated

Probably needs a battery, or at least a charge.

Sounds like that will do it, these bikes need a good battery to run.

Yes, you have bent shift forks. You have to remove the eng and split the case to get to them. Do a search on a member here that goes by Hightower, he has info and pics on how to do this.

No problem, If and when you do this make sure you buy the updated forks.

Here is a link to how to do the Shift Forks.
