I am beginning to have minor starting issue. This happens when the bike has sat a few days and is cold. It does not happen every time but just sporadically.
When I turn the key on, the fuel pump primes and the bike goes though the self check mode just fine. When I press the starter button nothing happens. I will then turn the key off and try again. I will repeat this 2-3 times and then it will start and run just fine. I am still getting use to this bike, could it be when starting for the first time you must hold the starter in longer than normal?
After it is hot it does not do it again. So my question is if this sounds like the starter relay or the start button itself.
Both are pretty cheap on ebay, and I will be removing fairings etc. to install frame sliders so this might be a good time to replace those.
When I bought the bike the PO said the battery was fairly new and I will test this, but it does not seem like the strongest to me.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did take some compressed air and tried to blow it through the switch housing but Im sure that did not good.
Thanks for any suggestions.
