Did you try hitting it with hammer gently?


Also, following this thread with interest as mine sometimes does this.

Thumbs Up

Hello,

Well it has happened again.

It stopped doing after a few days and for about 2 months or so it was fine. Then it has started doing it again.

I don't want to keep having to bump start it everytime I use it.

So how do I clean inside the Starter Motor?

Thanks.

I have tried to get it working today, Basically it's clicking from the right side of the battery. I tightened the nuts up and a few sparks came of it.

So the battery is fine right? So it would have to be the solenoid? Or the starter motor?

Someone must know?

If you bike won't start the first thing to check is the battery. Is it in good condition and fully charged ? See the Battery Page. If the battery tests good and the solenoid clicks at you, the solenoid might be corroded inside. To check, bypass the it. A real down and dirty way is to just connect the two big posts on the solenoid with a (OLD) screwdriver. There will be lots of sparks so have a good Fire Extinguisher handy. If nothing happens when you do this, the starter wires are broken or corroded, the starter is dead, or the starter is not grounded right. Try bypassing the everything. Hook a heavy jumper cable straight from the battery to the starter. If nothing happens, most likely the starters dead. You can also run a voltage drop test, to test the starter cables. See the Electrical tests page. If the starter works when you jumper the two terminals then you need a new solenoid. If the starter works and the solenoid does not click, the solenoid might be dead or it might be that the starter button is corroded and not making good ground or the wire going to the button may be broken. Sometimes there is a fuse in the starter system, be sure to check it. Also, on new bikes, big brother has now put in all kinds of "Safety" switches to protect us from ourselves. I don't particularly like them, however, I do have at least one rather vivid memory of trying to turn left with the side stand of my Norton down ! Anyway, check all those switches before you go and replace starters, solenoids, etc. They are usually on the clutch lever, side stand, and neutral switch. Older bikes don't have these "Helper" switches so their wiring is a bit simpler.
