Hi All
2010 Fazer8 14K  clicks on start button. Think it's the starter solenoid. it's been doing it for a wile now.
Anyone know if the Fazer8 solenoid is compatible with any other models. I'm trying to get a decent second hand one, but market seems limited, I thought maybe I could search under another model?
Thanks for any info

BBROWN1664:
Does it do the same with jump leads attached?

sure2ride:
Hi,

I haven't tried that, but the battery is less than a year old and on an optimate, so it should be ok.
Thanks

BBROWN1664:
Should - but not always the case.

sure2ride:
Ok thanks, I'll give it a try.
Last few days I have just tested how it starts each morning. first depress of starter swith I just hear the solenoid click, wait a second and try again, and this second time it starts.
it's done that for the past 3 days

Not sure what to do really, i don't want to have to shell out for a new one unless I really have to.

I'll check with a jump start and test all the connections for tightness, and see how it goes.
I'm off to Wales for a week in a couple of weeks so would really like to know it will not fail while I am away. :(
