Arch Troubleshooting

Arch Motorcycle Company, is a high-end custom American motorcycle manufacturer founded by Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger in 2011.


Motorcycle Troubleshooting

Put the Side Stand Up
Newer bikes (and some older ones) may refuse to start with the side stand down. Along with all the other high-tech sensors that are on board, your motorcycle might have a built-in code that keeps the ignition from starting if your kickstand is engaged.
Check if your bike has a sensor for the side stand, and if you put it up and the bike still doesn’t start, see if the switch down there is working correctly. If it isn’t, the bike might “think” you have the stand down when it’s not.

Clear the Muffler
Whether it’s your kids or grandkids, the neighbors, or residents of the rodent variety, someone (or something) could have blocked your muffler. This is especially common if the bike has been in storage for a while, or if it’s been outdoors.
Rodents looking for an accessible home might move into your muffler, but it’s also possible there’s just a ton of debris in there if the bike has sat for a while. Clear it out (carefully) and see if that helps get the bike started.

Set the Choke Properly
For carbureted motorcycles, you might need to set your choke or mixture enricher to match the ambient/engine temperature. Another common oversight, this issue can crop up in extreme weather conditions, or when conditions take a sudden turn you haven’t accounted for.

Determine if the Petcock is Clogged
One potential issue that might be keeping your motorcycle from starting up is a clogged petcock. The petcock is a fuel control valve. It controls the gas flow between off, on, and reserve settings. Clogged petcocks are a common issue that riders often bring up in forums.
A minuscule screen helps keep gunk out of the petcock, but corrosion and bits of stray material can cause flow issues. Rattling the petcock a bit can help dislodge any blockages, but replacement or a deep cleaning might be necessary to get your bike running again.

Check for Blown Fuses
Just like a car or truck, motorcycles have fuses, and they can blow the same as in any other vehicle. Keeping a fuse kit on hand is helpful so you can replace any blown fuses with one that has the same amperage.
If fuses continue to blow after you replace them, you likely have a more serious electrical issue somewhere in the bike’s wiring.

Check for Damage to the Vacuum Line
The line between the petcock and the engine can sustain damage, too, which keeps the system from operating properly. With leaks—whether from cracking, rot, or road damage—you might be able to reseal the line, or you may need a replacement before you’re road-worthy again.

See if the Fuel Injection System is Functional
Fuel injection systems are tricky to deal with, which makes it challenging to determine whether your bike is having injector issues or another problem. But since fuel injectors very rarely fail, experts suggest a pump failure is more likely.
Check to see if you can hear the pump running when you try to start the bike—if not, you can check the pump fuse. Apart from these preliminary investigations, you will likely need to see a professional confirm whether the FI system is the culprit.

Arch Motorcycle’s KRGT-1 gets a host of upgrades, revisions, and redesign
Arch Motorcycle’s KRGT-1 gets a host of upgrades, revisions, and redesigns for 2020, further staking its claim as a red-blooded American performance cruiser with composure and spirit. Our cruise on the updated 2020 KRGT-1 revealed a powerful, comfortable and competent hot rod with a stable chassis, endless power, and excellent brakes. But it all comes at a price.

I’m going to be brutally honest. I showed up in Pasadena, where Rider Magazine was being given the opportunity to ride the new Arch KRGT-1, with low expectations. That’s probably not fair, but it’s the truth. I’m jaded and cynical. I’ve ridden a lot of bikes, sat through a lot of technical presentations and talked to a lot of engineers and designers. There’s so much that goes into building a motorcycle from the ground up — one that not only looks good but functions well — that frankly I didn’t expect what I saw as a movie star’s pet project would amount to much of anything. (Keanu Reeves is a co-founder of Arch Motorcycle, along with designer and builder Gard Hollinger.) Well, I was wrong.

I’ve just swung a leg over the most exclusive production motorcycle we’ve ever tested: the $85,000 Arch KRGT-1. It’s a made-to-order performance cruiser, with unapologetic looks to match that hefty price tag. But do Arch owners Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger actually know what they’re doing—or is this just a vanity project for a Hollywood star? And how much bike do you get for Tesla Model X money? I flew from Cape Town to LA to find out.

First impressions, that the Arch feels like a cross between a Jesse James chopper and a BMW roadster, gradually go away as we hit the curves and learn the bike is solid, isn’t going to do anything dastardly, and nothing’s going to fall off.

The list of £90,000 production bikes is short enough before you start addi
The list of £90,000 production bikes is short enough before you start adding any other stipulations into the mix. And if the first of them is to deliver a ride that doesn’t leave you spending the same sum again at the sadistic whims of your local osteopath, then the list gets shorter still. But there is at least one choice. The Arch KRGT-1 may have been cracking asphalt Stateside since 2014, but the newest incarnation is now available on UK soil – and if the shock of the price tag hasn’t already given you palpitations, then riding it will. Preconceptions have a funny way of proving themselves accurate – but not this time. You might expect it to suffer surging fuelling woes, a soggy chassis and spine-compressing suspension. But it doesn’t. £90k custom bikes are usually rolling art installations that are torturous in motion – but the Arch combines bling with an unexpectedly accomplished ride. Yes, it’s got faults. No, it’s not really ‘worth’ £90k (although you try building a clone cheaper) – but it is imbued with an intangible specialness that deserves to get the super-rich reaching for the build options list.
