Dan Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hey All, hopefully someone out there can help with this. For a little while now the starter button on my bike has been clicking when i press it, just a single very loud click and the engine doesn't start.Usually it only takes a handful of presses before the bike eventually starts but it's getting worse. The other day i probably pressed it twenty odd times before the bike finally started. It doesn't matter if the engine is hot or cold and it doesn't always do it but it does more often than not.Google tells me it's either a faulty solenoid or a weak battery but what do you thinks more likely?I'm going to have to pay for either a new solenoid or one of those battery charge/test things either way by the looks of things. Just thought i'd see if i could avoid buying the wrong one first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Check how tight your battery terminals are before spending any money...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 also look at the connections to the starter motor, might be dirty/rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
