Problem Restarting

A common problem with superbikes is that after running fine and then shut off, it won't start again, say after a refueling stop. You don't hear a click of the starter solenoid or the starter motor turning. Sometimes if you wait a few minutes it will restart normally.

The culprit is the two-wire plastic connector plug located behind the starter solenoid (the round gold component near the battery.) The connector often makes a poor connection from distortion or corrosion. Usually jiggling or unplugging and plugging the connector will get you going again. It may be that the heat inside the fairing causes thermal expansion of the components and exacerbates the problem.

So check the electrical connector that goes to the solenoid. They always seem to fit poorly. Better-still, zip-tie it together.
