Help - 748S wont start

748S · 19-Dec-2004, 15:24

Can someone help please.....

Hadnt used my 748S for a couple mths so decided to go out for a blast... Started it ok and let it warm up on paddock stand for 10mins... revved it a bit like you do listening to the noise. Then switched it off.

Got kitted up , sat on bike.. hit the start button .... Nothing.... WTF.

Does not even try and turn over, Ive got lights so I assume battery is okay.

I can hear a short buzz when i switch on the ignition -- fuel pump ok then ??

all fuses seem ok - except one of 7.5A ones (fuses indicators ??) which has been blown for a while... however the bike has been running since

Dont look forward to trying to bump a cold ducati either

Has it got an alarm, if so check the inline fuse.

Could be the starter relay, take off the right hand panel, put a screwdriver across the two terminals of the starter relay, (ignition in the on position) if it fire up that is your problem, if it don`t, ask Nelly.

On behalf of 748S ,My mate Darren, who is having dificulties in replying at the moment... Thanks . Looks like a case for Mr Haynes

Sounds like the little white solenoid connector again..............

Pull the right hand panel off. The solenoid is on the lower right hand side of the battery as you look at it, it's a silver metal cylinder.
On the back of it is two power terminals and between them is a small white connector. Push this home fully and it'll probably start.
You can secure it properly with a small cable tie around it and the solenoid body to prevent future problems.
