another starting problem!!

Glyn · 21-Jun-2009, 17:08

just as i decide i will keep the 749s it is doing its best to pee me off
just replaced another fuel pump relay and solved 1 problem in order to develope another. i dont know if i've done something when in amongst the electrics.
went out for a ride after fixing relay and after a good ride we stop for petrol. when i try to start the bike the engine does about a quarter turn then stops (sounds like it is starting as normal but just stops after a second or 2) , after a few attempts it starts normally. same thing happens after we stop for tea and cake and after we stop for a pint. since then it has started normally, problem seems to have gone away. i still want to know what it is incase it comes back when i'm 100 miles from home!!

Hi glyn, how old is the fuel filter?

Glyn · 21-Jun-2009, 17:27

hi mark
fuel filter done at 6,000 miles just clicked on to 10,000

When you said it stopped,had it been firing?Could be the filter,or a faulty battery,or battery connection.Both are notorious for failing.

the bike starts to turn over when i press the button but only for a second then just stops. did this on average five or six times before it turned over normally

Hmm,.....I'm thinking battery or battery connections.

once it starts to turn the engine over propally the battery sounds strong enough??
