barker Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 there right bast*rds some times it seems that the most simple thing cause them to not start bit like my daughter , sounds to me that you need some one who knows what there doing ,needs to have a look at your bikelike if it bump starts ,,not in your flat ,, its got to be the starting electrics so battery starter switch wiring to starter or even the starterI had a right problem with mine put a new loom on in the end , then it started only to play up turned out to be a duff plug altho it was new, now its not charging if I can be any help with some electric al wiring parts let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Welsh Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 When try bump start it blows the blue 15 amp fuse. I do need someone out to look at it but I have been conned out of a good few hundred quid so now can not afford anyone else to come out. Also the last guy hit my dog so I threw him out. The only problem with being a female, you get taken advantage of. I am running out of ideas. The solenoid is still making the clicking noise.

ThePhatomfart Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hi CW , did you test the starter motor before you put it back in the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Welsh Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Not yet. Bike dad is away on his bike. I am just out of bed. This is getting bad, I am usually up and about first thing but the last two weeks I have been a lazy cow. Can you get really sad about a bike?

ThePhatomfart Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 You can certainly get frustrated, all part of owning a bike, but really need to test that starter motor off the bike , if that spins we can move on to the next fault, don't get disheartened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you spanner. My last bike was always easy to fix,I miss 2 strokes. Maybe I will give today a miss on it. My head is pounding, will message my bike dad to see when he free. Think a bag of donuts and crisps are needed haha.Do you think it would be worth asking on here if someone knows a reliable mechanic in Scotland? But has to not con me out of money,hit my dog or try and shag me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhatomfart Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Certainly worth a try,with all things motorbike you need to master that multimeter, that and the wiring diagram are your best friends, but set up a new topic asking for help in Scotland, they are a good bunch on here and I'm sure if any one is local they will get in contact with you, but don't put your address up for safety's sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Welsh Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Worth a try. But is okay I still ask you help? You are like my Internet bike dad haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhatomfart Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Certainly CW, you can always rely on help, but while your laid up today ,have a read of that multimeter Instruction booklet I sent you and have a practice in using it, you will pick it up and be able to check all the wiring, have a look at section 5-5 in the manual , next test after the starter motor is the diode.

Will get worse before it gets better I suppose. But the will get better. If not I will strip it and sell for spares and repairs. Put a shot load of new stuff on it. Even brand new tyres,dying to be used in the woods lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
