#223647 CPORetired (User) What do you mean my birth certificate expired?!!!? Platinum Boarder Posts: 1868 Starter or Switch or Battery Problem??? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Not real sure what is going on, when the bike is cold starting is a breeze, however once I get warmed up and don't let it sit and cool and try to restart when I hit the starter I get nothing no clicking no grinding just nothing, sometimes just hitting the button again works other times gotta turn key off wait a couple seconds then try all over sometimes that works sometimes is don't, there really doesn't seem to be any pattern to what is going on other than it does this when warmed up and bike is only off for a few minutes(ie getting gas is a pain in the a**), , dealership said bad battery, put in new one, same problem, good thing I am bald or would be pulling what I had out. Any help or ideas is appreciated as always.   Logged     Any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: I SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY.

Expert Boarder Posts: 532 Re:Starter or Switch or Battery Problem??? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Hey Chief. . .Retired Coastie here (W2). . .anyway. . .have you checked your fuses?? I would change them out and see if that has anything to do with it. . .when they heat up they may be breaking contact. . .not sure and it sounds hoaky to me too but I've seen strangeer things. Also, check your battery leads, and the starter cable are they loose? Heat does strange things to electrical components. Good luck to you with this. I really like your quote in your signature!

Expert Boarder Posts: 532 Re:Starter or Switch or Battery Problem??? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   And I appreciate your's . . . I'm used to the navy/coastie jokes. I was stationed at NAVSECGRUACT Northwest in the late 70's early 80's. but I've also bailed a few Navy RM's out of jams when LIBO was granted as well.   Logged     Keep the rubber down and the shiny side up!

Turned out to be the ignition switch.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #223726 SurveyWaters (User) Lucky-Star Expert Boarder Posts: 456 Re:Starter or Switch or Battery Problem??? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   could it not be the starter relay? do you here any click near the seat?   Logged     http://s799.photobucket.com/albums/yy279/surveywaters/My%20Bike/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #224168 FauxRider (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:Starter or Switch or Battery Problem??? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   WOW...this sounds similar to my problem but mine blows the main fuse. My next test is the key switch.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #224169 FauxRider (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:Starter or Switch or Battery Problem??? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I have a similar problem. How did you find out it was the ignition switch?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #224186 mkonantz (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 107 Re:Starter or Switch or Battery Problem??? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I had the exact same problem with my 02. cured it with new starter and battery cables. bought the maxair engineering cables. it was like night and day. hot and cold doesn't matter any more, i don't even have to choke sometimes. i'd start there.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
