    Ok. I had my seca 650 running great -- then I laid it down. Guy turned right in front of me and I suppose I should be happy to have all my limbs. Instead I'm frustrated by bike problems. She vibrates like something you'd buy at an adult store, she's awfully load now, but most of all (and here's my question) She won't start reliably. Ever time I fire her up she roars to life then dies immediately. Most time after cranking for a bit, waiting, then cranking for a bit she'll fire back up and stay running. Other times however she won't turn again and I end up draining the battery trying. This is inconvineint at most when I'm at home, but when I'm in the Safeway parking lot ... you guys get the idea. Please let me know what you all think is going on.

    Vibration - broken or bent motor mount? While moving wheel not true - bent fork? At least things to look at.

    Loud how - exhaust? If you have damaged the exhaust that can cause running issues.

    Shots in the dark here. You need try to pinpoint why and how it is louder to you now as well of the source and type of your new vibration...
