Posted July 27, 200618 yr SR125 intermittent (Electric) starting problems. Sometimes it starts fine, then the next minute it wont start and wont even bump. Which means I cant go very far, cos I am scared of it conking out on me. Given contacts etc.... and good clean and spray. Any ideas, cos its driving me mental and I need the bike to practise ready for my test, which is real soon.
July 27, 200618 yr Author Could it be the starter solenoid? Thanks, but where would I find that on the SR125.

If its generaly a bad starter, have you checked the ususal suspects? spark plug fuel - blocked fuel delivery. do you have an inline fuel filter, i always use one as after 1300 miles i can see rust flecks from the petol pump tankscaught in the filter! charged battery? does the bike smoke when it does start, as this could mean worn valve guides thus letting oil seep into the cyl head causing spark plug to foul.
July 29, 200618 yr Author Ok it seems sorted for now.........fingers crossed. The ?? clutch switch had a bad connection and got a new spark plug and its seems ok now......touchwood.
