Juddie Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Juddie Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
