My new s4 wont stop after turning off on key and kill. Well it stops and the starter motor runs. Where could the fault lie. Its was fine all day until I came home. Any advice to check it out before it goes back please.

AFAIK, the ECU controls the starter motor. If the starter motor keeps running then it may be a duff ECU. Take it back.

starter solenoid Albie

been a common prob in some of the 2002/3 bikes (mainly 620's & S4's so I have heard:puzzled: )

shgould mbe able to pick one up from any dealer - and AK says you could fit yourself.

Good luck,

It is under warranty for 12 months but I dont want to damage it riding there. Any advice whether it will muck up if she starts ok.:puzzled:

In that case, tell them to come & collect it mate.
Could also be fixed easily on site, so if shop not too far, maybe they could send mech out?

They were very good about it. I emailed this morning before work. They phoned me politely at 9.30 and said they will pick bike up when i get home. Phoned them just now and they are on there way. Nows thats service. They know the problem as they were Ducati Maidstone 2 years ago before ashford took the franchise. Hope shes back by Saturday. :(:(:sniff::sniff:
