Hi all, a couple of weeks ago I went to start the bike in the morning to go to work, and the starter wouldnt stop.
the only way I could stop it was to rush and grab an Allen key and remove the earth lead off the engine case.
I replaced the starter relay under the tank with another, 2nd hand unit, and all was good for a week, then its done it again. Now I'm wondering if the 2nd hand unit is also buggered or maybe the problem is lying elsewhere?
I've Looked through some of the posts.....to test the starter relay do I just put the mutli meter onto its posts and if I get 12v its fried?
Reading the posts I'm wondering should I be going into the starter motor to give it a good clean? Its used almost daily to get to work, battery is strong it must have cranked for a good 3-4 minutes while I accessed the Allen keys without slowing down.......
where else can it go wrong - almost too afraid to get this bit answered....;-)
advice on what else to check? starter switch?
thanks heaps!
