Lads, I had something very similar, bike would start 1st time for 2 or 3 weeks, then I would got out & nothing.
Bump start no probs, then it would run fine for maybe 2 days, maybe 2 weeks then not start again. Even went out one morning, started 1st time, went to George whites on a good long run, had a coffee, went to start the bike nothing! So, turned out to be the battery was on its way out, sometimes it would hold a charge, sometimes it would not. Was suggested on here that as time goes on they get a bit of sediment in the bottom, which can short across the plates so it don;t hold charge. I changed to a new battery & not had any more issues since, that is about 6 months now. (Got a good deal from Batteryman on here - (Thanks) give him a pm about prices.) Anyway, my advice before you go changing things to much in the charging circuit, borrow a battery from a mate or something & see how you go. In my circumstances I just bought a new battery & hey presto did not have to touch anything else, no reg/rec/wires or anything else. Best of luck chaps. |
