starter

Hi guys, my bike is unfortunately kept outside and all through the winter in the damp and cold she was a bitch to start. The bike is on a optimate but even this afternoon in the sunshine she flooded again. I have cleaned the plugs and the battery is charged but no go. Do you guys use the fast...

Quick question, the Yamaha starter relay (part number: 4KD-81-940-00) that is frequently mentioned, will it work with a 2009 tuono? Link: Starter Relay Assy Yamaha - 4KD8194000 4KD-81940-00 Cheers /Coach

Electrical challenged here so... Maybe heading for quick trip up to the Hebrides on the milli in a few weeks so was thinking of getting a new xb 14 12 ah battery for a bit of peace of mind , the current one is at least 2 1/2 years old . Question is do i need to put a bigger solenoid in it for...

Had my 02 Mille since new and am used to the battery appetite Bertha has. I have a shop grade wall mounted trickle charger plugged in every night just so she starts when cold. Anyway, I've has some issues starting her lately. I went to start her today and the thing almost ran before a hiss and...

Guys, can anyone tell me if the standard starter solenoid on the '06 factory is sufficient or would it be best to replace with an upgraded one from Griff?? Also, I've removed the brown connector at the r&r but did notice that after the bike was running for about 5-10 mins while I was warming...

My bike seems to of thrown a wobbly at me 3 days before Griffs open day :( recently the bike has been a little adventurous to start....turning over gets slower and slower then bang it kicks into life and off we go, altho today when attempting to start it after doing some other work I noticed a...

Hi, I'm new here and love my 2002 Tuono (34k miles). I've had it for maybe two years, lotsa track and road days, etc. I've read lots of posts about the sprague / battery / starter solenoid / financial devastation. My bike still starts and has battery tender, fresh bat, Yam solenoid, etc. With...

Went out yesterday on a 60 mile run on my 06 RSVR. Worked the bike hard (ish) and then spent time in traffic. Engine running at 98 degrees celsius. Stopped for ten mins, engine off and then when I went to restart, it wouldn't even attempt to turn over. Pushed the start button and literally...

Is this behind the battery with 2 nuts on and a connector,I'm replacing it due to loads of starting problems.

Firstly I have to keep my bike outside fully covered up and out of the weather sort of.i did a few short journeys on it locally and it started struggling to start then after about 4 cold days,came to it and wouldn't start at all so I charged the battery,brought it back to life.refitted the...

Hi all, it's been some time since my last post and really hope someone out there can help. Went to start my 1999 Mille and met by familiar struggle to start and then clicking - battery was duff. Tried jump starting from lawnmower battery and then car, still no joy. Bought new Optimate 4 to...

http://smartmotor.ro/magazinonline/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=151 it costs 3.49 pounds without p&p :) put it on a friends bike today, runs perfect! :)

Went to start it up, just a spinning sound, but not actually turning the engine over... Sure this has come up before but havent got time to search through! Its not charge, because i even tried hooking up to a neighbours work van, and was reading 14v on the dash. Still just the spinning whirring...

Tonight I decided to put on my new and improved starter solenoid from Wemoto. It has 2 wires, blue/white, red /white going into a white connector. The old one on my bike has these too but also it has 2 black wires coming from the main wiring harness connected into each of the red/blue wires. All...

What with the dodgy underated OE 50amp solenoid issue just wondered if anyone has come across this one on ebay and had any luck fitting it...

Picked up my rsv (03) a couple of weeks ago, it has been a bastard to start since i got it from cold. i think it's running rich, it pops & bangs all the time when i shut off, got a blue flame can on it but no other mods as far as i know. Had to clear using full throttle a couple of times to...

Aha, day 1 and I'm at it again :megaphone I'm going to get me a front paddock stand to use with my '04 RSV, for wheel/tyre changing (not planning on having the forks out...touch wood). So, despite the old adage of "buy cheap, buy twice" is there a downside to the sub-£30 front stands? Also...
