It is not a battery issue; Amps and Volts are fine and the lights are fine. The engine wouldnt fire up or turn if the battery were dud. But I'm unsure how to test further so I have downloaded the manuals from the Download section (cheers foccers)
I will test tonight but to answer some questions back to me (thanks)...
1. One click each time I press the starter
2. Random number of clicks needed to fire up, but usually no more than 5 (although it was 1 or 2 this morning)
Leaning toward a starter motor issue; haynes manual has breakdown of tests and components in the motor but is it not simpler to change the whole motor? Neither Haynes nor Yam manuals are clear as to where the starter motor is and how to remove it. any diags anyone?
thanks
