Starter. Click. Start. Whats about to stop working?

[Taipan]

Hi All

I've noticed the last few times I've started my bike as i've pressed the starter there has been a click from the right hand side somewhere and a split second delay before it turns over and fires up. So I assume somehting is about to break/stop working.

If i quickly press and release the starter button the noise is defo on the right hand side under the riders seat. Any ideas on what it is? I'll look into it tomorrow but thought I'd ask what it is, in case its a common fault?

Thanks

Is that where the starter relay is located, seems logical culprit for a click when starting no?

Depends how long the delay is, it should be fairly instantaneous.

Unless you accidentally bought a KTM, then you'd probably hear a lot of clicking and the delay would be about 3 hours.

Recently sold a 950Sm. Twas about the best bike i've ever owned TBH. Hated my LC4 though....
