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?

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.

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)

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

I wasn't "trying"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 I admit there was effort, but I could have put more in

Anywho yes ArcherWC it's a zookie.

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.
