JWilR Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 My XV only produces a single strong click on pushing the starter. The battery seems to be fine with over 12V when tested with the multimeter, the bike also bump starts fine. The connection to the starter just over 12V when the button is pressed, so I have come to the conclusion that the starter is dead. I have found YBR starters to be much more common and cheaper than specific ones listed as specifically for the XV. They look similar, but are they actually the same unit? as a poor student I'm hoping so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cov_AL Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Have you checked the amperage of the battery? have you cleaned the contacts? Try asking your local bike shop or Google how to test a starter motor (even cheaper than buying the wrong starter!) You don't want to waste money buying a starter, if the problem is caused by something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
