scrowe Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 i recon its either the connections in the bar controls (try spraying wd40 in the gaps) or a connection further down. did you use copper slip or vaseline on the battery terminals? if their dry with a bit of corrosion on the connetions might get need a clean up.

Takanta Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 ill take a look, is it safe to put vaseline on the battery terminals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrowe Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 It's a good conductor and keeps the corrosion at bay. i use it on the bike and on a sports boat thats subjected to alot of salt water spray. it does more than make the missus comfy if you know what in mean!!!It be reet!

Takanta Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 cool thanks will give it a try, only other thing i think it could be is either the starter relay/solenoid is away or the starter motor? oh or a wire loose on the CDI unit?

Guest Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Sounds like a dodgy connection to me. You don't have to hold the clutch in or anything do ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrowe Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 sorry the vaseline thing didn't work.i allways look at the cheapest option first and work back from that.have you actually opened the bar controls to look at the connections inside. no loose/ bent or broken tabs?the problem could be all of the above in your other post but look for the little things first.good luck.

Guest Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 open the switchgear and give the inside of the button some WD 40, could be a dirty button contact,.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
