eastanglianbiker Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 hi has the bike not been used for a while it sounds like itt could be a flat battery or the starter solinoid have you tried giving it a jump start and then check current going into battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 sounds like the relay is clicking, so would check you have a decent charge in the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 not been run for a while but wen i tried to jump start it it jus blew a fuse so i replaced it and then it did the same again thanks for the replybut not checked the solanoid will try that but failing that any more ideas thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 why did it blow a / 2 fuses??check the battery and connections..you can hotwire it to determine if its the switch.. but as its clicking it sounds like the switch is fine.will it bump start? how olds the fuel?

Guest Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 the fuel is new we made sure of that but not tried to bump start it as it weighs bout 1/4 of a ton but will get my sons to help and try that thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastanglianbiker Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 how long has it been stood if you go to the solinoid you can short across the 2 big terminals and see if engine turns over then or like others have said try bump start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 why did it blow a / 2 fuses??check the battery and connections.. Did you connect positive to positive? If not fuses will blow!Sounds like either a flat battery or a siezed starter motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 : sounds like the relay is clicking, so would check you have a decent charge in the battery This is what my old one was doing and to get it to work i had to wiggle it around, as if to get it to connect properly which is why i bought a new one. This clicking noise, does it only occur when there isn't enough charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 a relay is a powered switch, so the clicking is the relay being turned on, like flicking a light switch at home, if there isn't enough power then the device connceted to the relay wont work, hence just the clicking, but also if there is power and the device after the relay is not working you will get the same sound..always cheaper to start with the lowest cost option, in this case charge the battery, once that has been ruled out then start looking at bits..otherwise you have a new starter motor, and still wont work due to a flat/low battery...

eastanglianbiker Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 get an optimate you can leave that connected to battery all the time you are not using the bike and it will only charge onve voltage drops slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer5 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 No you need tha powa (as in, a wall socket ) Yeah just read that, its not possible as i doubt the locals would allow me to run an extension lead across 3 main roads and over 500m I've just seen this http://www.bridgwater-electronics.co.uk ... harger.php - I'm thinking of a work around for the winter months, the bike location isn't safe to have it not have the immobiliser fitted.I think my heated grips may have a fault, they were starting to get warm when the bike was on jump leads connected to a neighbours motor, but that doesn't explain why the battery died after 1 week, even with the horrendous weather we had this week. I did take it on a 100mile blast last Sunday so i am surprised/concerned slightly.. I'm thinking the very cold weather mixed with the datatool 4 immobiliser has drained it, but worryingly again it was so flat there was no ignition lights nothing, zip dead..I missed the remembrance parade and now sat here googling ******BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I had problems with my heated grips last year, not sure if they were the problem but it killed my battery.I wont be using them this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer5 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I had mine wired directly to the ignition so they should only come on once the engine is started, but it appears they come one once the ignition is turned to on; but does not explain why the battery is drained...Back to the shop me thinks!BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 if you have no power at your garage have you looked at something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12v-Solar-Panel-P ... 53e4b2ed69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
