Hi all,
My knowledge of bike mechanics is very much limited.
But on trying to fire the beast up, when I press and hold the starter button, I hear a click (presumeably the starter motor relay) - then nothing - rather than the click-click-vroom etc that I used to hear. Not sure if I can hear it turning over at all. Should I be able to? But if I use a bit of throttle the bike fires up.
Dodgy starter motor? Brushes need cleaning? Any suggestions welcomed!
