pinki-88 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hey When I came to use the bike this morning the ignition came on but as soon as I pressed the start button everything turned off.I turned the key back to off and on again but the the ignition didn't even work. After a few goes of this it finally came back on again but when I pressed the start button the same thing happened again.Any ideas what's happened to it?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Electrics argghh could be a number of things, I had a similar problem one time turned out to be a corroded connector block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mealexme Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 bad connection i think. or could be the battery if it is very very flat. turn the key so your lights come on put them on high and leave them for a couple of minutes. if it gradually goes out then its prob the battery although because the symptoms aren't consistent i would guess its a connection. i am however in no way qualified in this subject lol. its just a guess from experience/common sence.what bike and year is it?
