hello people.....
got back from a long holiday a few days ago... and of course one of the first things to do was go for a ride. bike had been sitting for over a month. the battery seemed like it had enough charge, but after turning over once or twice, it seems like the starter motor disengages or something, and just winds over by itself without turning over the engine. after pushstarting it and a warm up, it seems to engage no probs, but in the cold it just disengages. so at the mo the bike is sitting outside and wont start :(. looking for some suggestions as to what the cause of this could be. hopefully a solenoid or relay, but maybe gears or clutch?????
open to suggestions
