Robbie Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi guys buggered up another part of the bike now. When I try to start the bike the Relay assembly makes a nasty electrical crackling sound (for want of better words) and there is no compression to be had from the engine. Could anyone tell me what is likely to be the problem and how much it will be to rectify the problem. Cheers Robbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Robbie what do you mean "no compression"? how do you think this is connected with the starter? have you tried bump starting the bike?

Robbie Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 what do you mean "no compression"? how do you think this is connected with the starter? have you tried bump starting the bike? I sorted it out. Turns out that the battery had lost its charge and because of this the relay was switching on and off quickly. Have you ever tried to bump start a high compression engine its next to impossible ended up jump starting it with my mates car.

Robbie Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 ahh you said you had no compression tho' I didn't as the engine wasn't even turning over. I have compression now thouygh as the battery has charge. Its hard to get your meaning across over this interweb. Regards Robbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
