[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1408563, member: 19880"] Are you saying no start (but it cranks) or no crank when you hit the button? No start can be fuel or spark assuming the starter motor is turning it over fast enough. Could also be "flooded" - see fast starter syndrome. No crank can be dirty start switch, ignition switch or starter solenoid (or a funky connection between the switch and solenoid or between the solenoid and starter. Could be a really crapped up commutator (or brushes) in the starter. Could also be a dirty sidestand switch or clutch switch - starting in neutral, clutch pulled, side stand up/down etc. All makes a difference. Battery is unlikely to be bad but strange things have been known to happen if the connections are not clean and tight!! Since it is intermittent, I would look for dirty switches, and corroded connectors first. Followed by some wire wiggling and playing with a multimeter. Easier to find and fix if it fails all the time! You have a bunch of testing to do... [/QUOTE]
