Motormark286 Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 I have a yamaha xvs950a I have tried starting it yesterday and it won't start it tryed for a second then there is a fast ticking sound, i started it a few weeks bacl and just run it for 10 minutes and all was fine so I think it may just be the battery so I am going to get a charger to try that but any other ideas or am I going along the right track?Any help or ideas would be appreciated Quote
Tango Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Yes mate.....charge the battery and try again.......The fast clicking or buzzing is the starter relay oscillating due to the battery voltage being too low..... Quote
Motormark286 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 Oh great I thought it would be as hasn't moved since last started just nice to hear, thanks Quote
Pete Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 If you're near a hill (or can get a bit of speed up with a push) try bump starting it. Get on the bike, put it in second gear with the clutch held in, turn the ignition on. Then when you've got enough speed up release the clutch out quickly. That should get it going if it's just the battery that's flat.Many a time have I have to bump bikes in the past, looking a two-hat 'running' up the road with my legs either side of the bike. Good way to get warm in this weather mind. Quote
Classickid21 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 jump start it. if no joys check if you have spark. if you have spark then its fuel. Where are you based ? Quote
