Went to start the old gal up, Heard a clicking noise and the celenoid under the riders seat started to smoke?????. Battery didnt seem to have enough juice to throw it over?? I have had an optimate on the battery since i got it so i assume it"s been fully charged.
Had a word with keitho and he told me to put a xjr 1300 celenoid on it to cure the problem? He also told me to stick a bigger battery on but couldnt remember the size? Can someone tell me? Took it back to the dealer and its being done on the waranty.
Its a pissa, ive not even rode it yet?????:thumbdown

The Battery you want is a Yuasa YTX14-BS, or any of the Yuasa YT14 variations (slight difference in sizes and dimensions.

I've never actually worked out which model the Yamaha starter relay/solenoid is, some say it's an R1. All i do know is i have one fitted.

Do you know the part code for the starter ?
