Thank you for your reply, I will try that but the battery isn't that old, not that that means much, anyway I shall keep you posted, thanx once again.

"Hi I have a 1999 Yam XJ600n divvy, and sometimes it starts via the electric start, other than that I have to bump start it, so I thought the solenoid had gone and got a new one, when trying to start the bike tonight with the old sol' on it did nothing but made a clicking noise. so I put the new one on and....nothing not even a clicking sound, but, with either on i managed to bump start it. I have checked the fuses and all are ok, I have sprayed the electric start button with WD40 in the hope that that might help, still nothing. One thing i noticed though, the old solenoid only has one wire, coming from it, although it looks as though there were two at one point, the new one has two, so i connected one wire up and left the other dangling. Does any of you fine people have any other suggestions?

Hi everyone, It is so nice to find a forum with like minded people, we are a real biking family and have variety of bikes, the yams holding pride of place. Let's hope that the summer only gets better and the weather holds out until at least October. I look forward to being part of the yamaha club site, thanx for having me.

Thank you very much. I was a bit worried as it hasn't happened on any of my other bikes. So does that prove that the oil is going into the clutch and lubricating it as the wheel is going around?

Hi, Hopefully there is a wizz kid out there who can diagnose this problem I have:- A few months ago the thrust bearing on the clutch went so I replaced it. All has been well for a month or three then low and behold it went again. When I removed the clutch housing it was almost dry inside apart from a load of froth, (it looked absent of oil. which I thought was strange) anyway I have cleaned everything up, soaked the clutch plates in oil for a week replaced the trust bearing AGAIN! and put it all back together; - here's where the second problem arose, no matter how much I try to adjust the cable, at the clutch end and at the lever end, the clutch will not disengage, when I put it into gear whilst up on the full stand the back wheel goes around as you would expect, but, when I pull in the clutch lever the back wheel still goes around, and it doesn't slow down at all, it seems to be still in gear, when I rode the bike, the weight of the bike and me was enough to stop the bike travelling when I disengaed the clutch, obviously there is something not right but for the life of me I cna't figure out what it is. Can any one throw some light on it please?
