Intermittent Non Start
foey:
I haven't been on here for a while & for some reason my counts have all zero'd but hey ho!
Anyway i'll get back on topic, in the past month i have had a few instances (three or four) of trying to start the bike & all i get is a faint single knock/click, the first time it did this i put the side stand up & down a couple of times & rocked the bike back & forth whilst in gear, pushed the button & away it went.
I have tried this same process each time & so far it has allowed the bike to start but i don't want to keep putting off a permanant fix incase one day it doesn't start, the battery was new last winter & when it does turn over it has plenty of power so i don't think that is a part of the problem, just wondered if anyone had any ideas what it may be?
Fazerider:
The click you get is presumably the starter relay activating. If the contacts, or the starter motor commutator, has a bit of dirt/glazing then that can be enough to stop it spinning up.
celticbiker:
Definitely the starter relay, a tenner and 30 minutes will have fixed.

Superb, thanks guys!

Clean the side stand switch as well.
