Starting Problem

[Centaur]

Easypeasy Petros.

If Tinytim can do it with his cauliflower hands you will have no problem.:-0)

 

[Tinytim]

What frightens me is replacing the whole thing although I can see that there is plug ins on the electrics side......and what about the accelerator cables?

I shall have to do it.....

"accelerator cables" is a very worrying thing to read on this site. Are you sure there isn't anyone at all out there to "help" you? Are thye on the right hand side steering bar?:-0)

 

[Centaur]

How's your Greek, TT.

He's taking the piss over "throttle" cables and trying to scare you, Petros.

Big Jessie has just got out of IanRobbo's birthday bed!

 

[petrosc]

Dont worry

I AM SCARED ENOUGH AS IT IS 8ree!

Trembling to the thought uke: TT is doing a good job there

I can only cope with things like if my chain goes flat, I could pump it up (you've seen my air line Bill)...What a garage hey? @tu*

A flat chain? Now you have got me worried, Petros! 8rfl@

 

[petrosc]

aha

A flat chain? Now you have got me worried, Petros! 8rfl@

Something tat I know and you do not!!!!!!!

Put some air in it Bill 8rfl@

 

[petrosc]

Joking apart

Contact cleaner duly ordered and should be here on Wed/Thur.....@tu*

 

[petrosc]

Sooooooooooooooooo

Everything else is done......
14586 miles, service
New plugs
Air filter
Oil filter
Oil
Brake and clutch fluid
New chain and sprockets (Jaws send me the kit)

If it starts properly as well, I might ride it back to England......:-0)

Petros' starting problem traced to the starter button. WD40 helped a bit but we are going to get some contact cleaner and see if that clears the problem or whether a new assembly is needed. @tu*

I believe the handle bar switches were mentioned in post #6 ;-0)):-0)

 

[Centaur]

It was, Caspar.

But so was a rabbit's foot! 8rfl@

Try fault finding with a crazy Greek 2500 miles away when he would rather take his laptop around to show you his swimming pool, olive tree orchard, home made wine stash and a garage you could get lost in!

His nearest town is 38 miles away and it is so cold in the middle of winter the thermostat went down to 15 degrees C yesterday. 8ree!

Upside is he's a bright guy and eventually does as I ask! :bow:

Seriously Caspar, it was better to work by a process of elimination as he had already bought a starter solenoid and had it flown out at great expense when it wasn't the problem.

Taken into consideration at the time and always a thought Caspar and thank you indeed for posting that at the time. But no contact cleaner, only WD40 and two solenoids did not work.....lol
Thanks

Also. it was discovered that the rh switchgear was broken (the cover)

Regards:bang:

 

[sr71caspar]

Notice I kept me gob shut and dint brag until everything else was eliminated first:-0):-0):-0)

Glad you two got it narrowed down to summat definite@tu*

8rfl@, now we fekkin find out. ! 11 pages worth. :bang:

 

[Centaur]

I am 2500 miles away from the bike, TT b0x1 :-0)

 

[petrosc]

Hey TT

8rfl@, now we fekkin find out. ! 11 pages worth. :bang:

I had never seen this broken switch cover before and I only noticed it when I looked for taking the damn thing off the bike.....gr0n:

The thing is now I ordered the unit (thanks for poiting out on ebay) but it means that you will have to tell me how to do it :bow:

Is there a specific way of doing this job?

[Centaur]

Easy peasy Petros.

Disconnect he earth lead from the battery. Undo the two bolts and remove from the handlebars. Follow the wire down into the loom and undo the plug.
Fit the new lead, CAREFULLY tighten the bolts. Refit the earth on the battery and test. Skype is available! :-0)

about throttle cables? Does it come out in one piece?s0s:

 

[Centaur]

I haven't got a bike to look but....

I don't think they are affected. I thing they stay in place when the cover is removed. Anyone help?

Christ, it's easy when ya doing it but a year or three down the line it's hard to remember innit ! 8rfl@

IIRC, you have to disconnect the "accelerator strings" ( :-0)). To do that, loosen the adjuster locknuts underneath the grip to allow maximum play in the cables, sorry string so that you can "unhook" the cable nipples from the switchgear piece. Take ya time and you'll be awreet. The rest, like Bill says.

Wonder if we can get to 20 pages on this ?

 

[petrosc]

Will it be a record? 8rfl@
