hello!
this morning i was trying to go to work and bike didnt start.. i thought was because of the cold..
it actually starts but engine doesnt turn over..
tried horns and lights.. all good.. pressed the taco volt and shows battery its charges..
the starter makes some click noises when i try to get the bike running..
im going to order new plugs later today.. any thoughts anyone?? starter is gone? battery? anywhere else i could look?
much appreciated any reply!!!
cheers

hi I am no expert far from it, but a clicking starter normally I thought was a battery issue or is the starter stuck? have you tried rocking the bike in gear like you do with a car and a starter sticking
does the bike have starter relays as I had similar issue with a cbr125 which I fixed.
like I say no expert but worth a try
