Try this from Wemoto. It's more expensive but it's from a reputable supplier. |

Re: Intermittent Start
If battery is failing it can make starter solenoid chatter, it goes like this....

Re: Intermittent Start
Before spending any money Id check all the connections on top of the obvious ones you have already done. These include the battery terminals and the frame and engine earths as well as the block connecters. Then buy a new solenoid

Intermittent Start
Quote:
As above, the OP should check the battery is holding charge first. For OP: Just set the multimeter to a fairly low DC volts scale (there is normally one around 20V). With the ignition off test the voltage across the battery terminals, it should be 12.6v. If it is less than that the battery is not holding charge (and that will probably be causing the problem).

I have no view on what the OP should spend his money on. One is a £10 part, the other is £30... I know which one I would fit Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Re: Intermittent Start
As I said, I have a number of well made Chinese mechanical components on my very well used SV. I have in the past made the mistake of thinking that the same quality extends to imported/ebay electrical bits. I invariably end up spending a second time to replace the poor quality and occasionally downright dangerous electrical bits from sellers such as the one to which you linked.

Re: Intermittent Start
How you doing mate?
Found that my clutch lever has worn enough so that the switch only engages when the lever is angled upwards slightly... just changes my starting procedure subtley! But changing the switch did nothing, obviously.

Well, fancy that, how did you diagnose the problem I wonder? Well done. I got rid of the clutch switch, I soldered the two wires together so it is bypassed, I’m much happier having less things to go wrong than more. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
