[GetawayRider]

hello,

bike won't start. seems to be an electrical fault, anyone got any ideas?

as soon as i put the ignition on the rev counder needle dances about all over the place and there is a loud clicking noise from both the two solenoids under the seat.

if i hit the start button the starter goes but seems there is no spark.

oddly if i turn the lights on, the needle stops dancing, but it still won't stop.

thanks guys

Jay
