Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 10, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 10, 2012 Good luck. Do you cover the bike at night? I think it makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jont Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Most probably a bad battery or starter motor connection. Could also be caused by a low battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Duncan Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Good luck. Do you cover the bike at night? I did, untill someone nicked my cover ! waiting till the end of the month to buy a new hevie one, that will hopefully have holes in the bottom so that i can lock it to the bike, or lock it round Most probably a bad battery or starter motor connection. Could also be caused by a low battery. check earth too battery was full, i think it was ether a duff connection or a short due to the horrendus rain - had to bump her yesterday but started up fine today in the lovely sunshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
