couldn't start the zx9 on Saturday it would fire up then just die Crying or Very sad
I gave up after a while just to give the starter motor a rest, gave it a try this morning it turned over gave a loud bang and stopped now it wont even turn over.
I've charged the battery and still nothing I think ive fucked the starter is it a big job to replace?

Mine has very random starting issues.... try to start it and the engine will just do a loud thunk type noise and the starter does nothing (other than dim the lights), other times I'll try to start it and it will give a loud backfire etc.

From personal experience:
When it backfires carry on trying to start it as normal, but look around to see how many people have flattened themselves on the ground thinking it was a gunshot.
When it locks up with a thump give it a second then press the starter button rapidly until it starts turning over as normal.... usually loud swearing and calling it a useless piece of shit helps it start quicker.
When it starts normally call it a nice bike and maybe give it a pat on the fuel tank.
