Starting problem theory.

Thanks Unfazed, very in depth but logical & could help someone in future with any simillar type issue.


Ill keep tabs on it but im guessing that this just isnt a caseof opening something a replacing a switch which is cheap and woola.....i bet it involvesnew ignition barrel etc etc.


I dont have an immobiliser or a chipped key....possibly a US import which then goes and makes sourcing a direct replacement a little bit tougher.


If i could get by for a few years with just pulling the clutch in i'd be happy but theres probably a flaw in that methodology.


Hoping the weatherwill clear up enough today for a spin.

Does it always start with the clutch pulled in????

so far yep but I haven't perhaps had long enough to completely prove that although knowing my bike I would say yes it does.

the reason I originally asked was that when I got my Chinese shorty levers on my 600 I can vaguely recall a few of us had them around the same time and someone was mentioning that with the new levers there was an issue with some micro switch that wasn't bein utilised with the new levers and that's what got me thinking as I have ASV levers.

That is a different issues and more or less rules out the Ignition Switch and looks more like a wiring issue or a diode gone in the starting cut-off relay. I have seen fellows blow these when they did not know what they were doing .

Might be worth while changing the Starting cut-off relay, they are used in the FZ6, FZ1, FZ8, R6 and R1 so should be common enough and cheapish.

The part number is 5VK-81950-40

What is the under seat code of your bike? it is probably 3C37 something or 3C3A something. This will determin if it is Local or Foreign  :lol

Thanks Unfazed, another worthy option.....especially if it is cheap....so that's the thingie that should be near the battery somewhere...a quick google indicates a unit with a fuse either side.

I think on my next run out i'll stop pulling the clutch just to make sure that the problem manifests again and then order one of these. 8)

Noggy, no that is the starter relay, this has 16 wires going into it. It is next to the starter relay
