dunno abt you but at least it tells me not to hold onto the starter which some do. also tells failure to start also need not be a problem with the starter motor, which is very expensive. wonder how the rest think. -

other than starter motor
still got batt, recitfier,magnectic coil -
when the starter motor cranks the engine, most people like to hold on to the starter button until they hear the reassuring sound of the engine running before they release the button. some also like to blip the throttle a little while holding the button. this overrevs the starter motor, and wears it out. that's what i meant by holding onto the button. i'll show you what i mean when i see you la...Originally posted by ah_tee:wad u mean by holding on to ur starter

>always have a spare spark plug with me
there's once my bike fails to start,push start until siao it works only after i replace a spark plug...jus wondering if improperly method might have the effect of shortening the lifespan of a spark plug???
Michelin-Hi-Sports The idea is there... -
