Bike not starting

I suspect it's the alarm, battery fully charged and I'm just getting a single click. It's making a proper grumbling sounds when I switch the alarm on or off! Anybody know about alarms ?

 

Are you sure the battery is Ok?, clicking type solonoid noise is usually a sign of not enough power to turn the starter motor...

 

what alarm do you have also do you have a optimizer on it

 

Got an optimiser on it an all lights are on, data tool alarm, had a problem before when the internal battery went duff, but that was less than 12mth ago so not got a clue!

 

if its letting you turn the lights on i would say its the bike not the alarm as it would go off other wise

 

Yea the lights come on, doesn't turn over, just a single click and nothing. It is making all kinds of grumbling noises for approx 10-15 secs. The alarm is working as it went off when I sat on the bike. And I was able to switch it off..

 

it could be the bike battery are the lights goin off when you try and turn it over

 

No lights stay on an the optimiser is showing it in the green.

 

will it not go off a bump start

 

I'll find out where the starter motor is and check it tomorrow. Thanks

 

Can't bump as I have a trapped nerve in mi neck at mo and any sudden movement kills..! I'll ask mi bruth to come over and give it a try. He'll be able to check the starter as well ( I hope)

 

that sounds better dont hurt yourself as that means no bike time

 

Mi bruth can come Friday, I'll be asking more if he can't sort it..! Thanks

 

would check your solinoid aswell as the wires going to that could of corroded.
Sounds like not enough power getting to the solinoid or starter motor is jammed/buggered

 

I've not got a clue when it comes to the mechanics. If all else fails it'll afta go to a garage. See what comes of Friday. Thanks

 

check there is power getting to the starter when you hit the button and work back from there.

 

Cheers I'm creating a list for him to check..

 

Give us a shout if you can't sort it Jen and I will

 

straight to the point, i like that
