My Bike Has A Mind Of It's Own?

[NC]

Halfway through a ride today my bike decided that it didn't want to start after a short stop off.
I tried to start it and it was kicking over, BUT it just didn't have the oomph to go. So I took my thumb off the start button and it kept on kicking over! So I flicked the kill switch and it kept on kicking over, so I turned it off and it kept on kicking over!!
Then just before the battery died, it stopped. I waited for a minute. Then tried to start it again, the battery was almost dead flat.
I gave it a push start and all went well for the rest of the ride, no problems what so ever.

Does anyone know what could be wrong with it?:crybaby:

maby the starter solenoid stuck?

[Ixion]

Rooted solenoid. Go to supacheap, get a truck solenoid. everything about bike elctrics is crappy.

It's a Suzuki? Check for loose battery connection or something earthing on frame.

[SixPackBack]

Bike prolly packed a sad after you thrashed the shite out of it tryin' to keep up. hehe:crybaby:

its a Suzuki, nuff said





just ask Boomer, Sixpackback or any other of the numerous Suzuki owners I have had to wait for lately (starting to think they are worse than Harleys:dodge:)

[tri boy]

As Ixion said. Solenoid on the fritz. Get it sorted before it roots ya starter motor.

I wasn't "trying":girlfight:It would have been stupid if I was trying to keep up with you three or 4. First time I'd been on those roads:spanking: I admit there was effort, but I could have put more in

Anywho yes ArcherWC it's a zookie.:weep:

Just like a flippin women – I don’t know; one minute I’m doing well, pushing all the right buttons and getting her all revved up, then bingo; don’t know what I did exactly but something killed the mood, couldn’t get it started no matter what I tried.
Even backed off, left it for a while then tried again, unfortunately not with the same positive results you had.

Bikes and birds – they both can be fickle some days, great fun when it’s all happening the way it’s supposed to.

I think the secret is doing all the preparation and maintenance leading up to the actual ride.

Huh? Maintenance?

Errrrr what sort of secretions are you referring to here?

[Drew]

Huh? Maintenance?

I think it's what people do to avoid fixing broken stuff.

Buy a Hornet, other Honda owners wank on about reliability so much I'm testing the theory by doin nothin at all to my old nail.

I look after the TL. I just don't understand, are you meant to replace the solenoid periodically so there is no chance of this happening?
Of course not!

[Taz]

I'm sure suzuki electrics are only beaten in crappiness by Lucas.

Of course not!Dont get pissy with me gurl, I'll stomp your...I cant back that up so I wont finish the sentence.

Maintanance is for pussies anyhoo, only time I adjust the chain is when it starts slipping teeth when I hoist a minga.

No, me pissy at you? Nope.

I was refuring to the dude up there ^^, telling me to maintain my bike. Even though solenoid pooing out just happens.

You get it sorted out then? If it's the solonoid it will probably get worse quickly.
