[QUOTE="Sgt3355, post: 913576, member: 20826"] Hi I see from the original date that this is really old post; (but the problem is still with us) so I'm not too sure that this reply won't just disappear into the ether!! Am I right in thinking that your bike was totally dead? Mine most certainly is now; I've had months of occasionally poor starting (especially on a restart). To stay on the road (and put the problem off to another day) I followed a hint on a forum page to merely keep cranking it and lo and behold it fires (normally about 10 seconds before the battery expires!!). This is now not an option; all I have is a green ignition light (same as you get with a kill switch) and total silence. All fuses are sound and I suspect the ignition block. I'm going to do the switch cleaner trick and if that don't do it will follow your removal method, which appeals to me more than going in through the top as I've seen elsewhere. This may be the faulty area, I may have even more than one fault. But it's a good enough place to start. Whatever happens thanks for all the advice, I glean nearly all my info from the various FJR forums (mostly US one's it seems); I may have had this machine for over 8 years but it's only now that it is giving me problems: so I'm on a fast-track learning curve! Stay upright! [/QUOTE]
