Default Re: Intermittent Start

It's working for now. I completely took the clutch switch apart, gave everything a clean and quickly sanded the contacts - they didn't look too bad to start with but hey ho. Squirted everything with contact cleaner, blew it out.
And found out that as Toooldtodie suggested following a similar technical checklist of diagnosis - lots of random wiggling - that my clutch lever is worn too. When I removed the lever to look, the bolt hole is more oval than round. It's the original lever.
Fix - If I lift it slightly when I squeeze it. Bingo. 99% of the time it's starting first time.

It'll do for now, if it turns into too much of a pain in the harris I'll remove it.
As the fork is still leaking and the tyres are on the limit waiting for payday, it's the least of my worries for now.
As always thanks for your input peeps.
