My bike decides to start one day and sometimes it doesn't start using electric start IS this the starter motor? If so i think i need a new one :nerd: i heard they are quite expensive to replace Where could i get one and are they easy to fit? Thanks
i had the same problem,the starter, with my indicators + horn aswell, all it needed was a new battery
indicators and lights are fine just wont start on electric Could it be spark plug by any chance? Will leaving it idle for a while give the battery a charge or am i better of buying a charger?
leaving it on idle wont charge the battery, you have to be doing a certain amount of revs to charge it, on my vx i believe you have to be doing over 2500 revs to charge
when you say it sometimes doesnt work...is it just silent...starter not trying to turn the engine at all?? if so it sounds like a dodgy earth!!! And starters arent that expensive....ive seen new ones on E-bay for about a tenner!!
actually, when not using the electrics it will charge the battery at tickover, not very quickly though, it won't reach optimum output til 4000-5000 RPM
U can hear it trying to start but it sounds like its dying The noise is coming from the back left side somewhere
thats the battery mate. mine sounded identical, basicaly when there isnt enough charge in the battery, the starter motor doesent have enough energy to engage , so just spins until it runs out of power, pick up a new battery cheap from halfords or somethin.
