Matthew Duncan Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 so, this morning - put my leathers on, and my waterproofs - due to normal sunny aberdeen weather - looked like there was a waterfall outside my window !, and unpadlocked my bike - key in the ignition, choke on and press the starter! . . .click. . . .click . . . . seems the water must have got into my starter ??solenoind?? / ??relay?? pushed her down the road abit and booft - she fired up nicely. Bikes been under shelter at work all day and im just finishing - so i hope its dried out cos i cant be bothered bump starting it again
Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 10, 2012 Moderator Posted April 10, 2012 Good luck. Do you cover the bike at night? I think it makes a difference.
jont Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Most probably a bad battery or starter motor connection. Could also be caused by a low battery.
Matthew Duncan Posted April 11, 2012 Author 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
