stoney caser Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 hi there folks,just a shout out for some advice if anyone can help? The bike really doesn't like to start on cold mornings,sometimes a not catch,sometimes a click,whirr and the clock resets itself to 12.00,and sometimes,perhaps the third or even fourth press,it'll start straight away as if it was already spinning.I'm no mechanic,but,five or 6 tears back the sprag clutch died during similar circumstances.Would i be looking at a bigger battery(,it always reads charged when i check it),a beter battery or is it time to book it in at the shop.It gets used almost everydaythough recently just to work and back.It has a dyno jet kit on it,but that has been there(c/o Crush Ginster) since we bought the bike 14 years ago. Thanks for any pointers cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobert Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 I've had a few look ok on a meter but in reality, they'd gone - have you tried jumping starting it to see if it's just the battery rather than something else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great way of seeing if your limp battery is the cause. Do your issues resolve themselves with a jump start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
