GPz 305 Battery Or Starter Motor?

[Benson_JV]

Salutations all.

The GPz 305 is running fine, just not starting so well.
When I try & crank it, the starter motor does a little half turn and then gives up trying. The relay clicks everytime and the motor does at least something each time.
I'll try another battery tonight to see if I can rule that out, just quite annoying as I'm selling the bike this weekend and I don't want it to die again the moment I leave!

Thanks for any help.

Benson.

I'd suspect a bad battery from that, then a poor earth connection, then a bad starter, then goblins.

Thanks Roger, knew I could count on a fellow GPz305 rider.

Will see if the Battery from the CBR cranks her over.

Eh, as soon as the blizzard here slackens off a bit, I'll likely slap mine on Gumtree.

License has upgraded, I need to make room in the garage. The bike is actually going fine, which is surprising considering some of the horror stories.

How much you asking Roger?

[Rogerborg]

Hmm, good question, it's got short MOT and tax on it, and it's borderline whether it's worth me renewing them. I'll likely put it up at £400 fixed price, more if I end up re-MOTing ("it'll sail through, mate.."[1]) and taxing it.

[1] It'll need a dust seal renewing, I have the part, but not worth my time, etc.
