Won't start!
« on: 27 June 2016, 06:40:31 pm »
Hi, I have a 2008 FZ1 Fazer with abs which when pressing the starter makes 2 sluggish turns which is followed by a rapid electrical clicking sound. I initially thought this was down to a depleted battery so bought a motobatt replacement as I thought the original wasn't holding a charge. This seemed to sort things but now I'm back to the sluggish turns and the clicking. The battery is showing 12.56 volts and I've tested for parasitic drain but nothing read out on the multimeter. I'm now thinking solenoid or starter (pardon my ignorance but I'm no expert). Any ideas from yourselves. The bike by the way is in mint condition and owned from new.

Charge the battery up fully off  the bike and then start bike up and see if it is actually charging the battery, should show about 14.5 volts if  the bikes charging system is ok.
