Its alive.... the old girl fires up first time now

[BDG]

Great news, what was the problem and did you use yer man?

[drunkinvegas]

had the bike booked in at dealers again, didn't feel it right to let them of the hook and have to pay someone else to put it right. 3 days before it due to go in it started to work fine. spoke to the dealer who admitted they had done nothing the first time it was in No point taking it back if they not going to do anything. fires up first time every time now and i have no idea why. fingers crossed it stays that way.

I have had the same issue off and on with my ST4s. Even though all the electrics worked and the battery was fully charged there was not even a click when the starter button was pressed.

It seems that the plastic clip that holds the live feed to the starter motor on is not of the highest quality and sometimes the connection is not the best.

Mine is now held together with a cable tie and has been fine for the last 5k miles.
