Subject: Starting Probs
Hi @s,
I've got a strange problem with my RD04. Since last summer it happens from time to time that I can't start the engine. Means: I press the starter button - but nothing happens. Absolutely nothing isn't correct. I can hear the clicking of the starter relais - but the starter itsself doesn't work. I already changed the starter relais, hoping this would be the reason - it wasn't. This happens only when the engine is warm. When I pushed the bike to start it - it always started immedeatly. Except for one time, when I wasn't fast enough and the engine did only one "cough" - but then, curios enough, I pushed the starter and everything worked perfect!
So any ideas or hints? Is there any electromechanic part between the starter relais and the starter motor that can get "stuck" in some way and be released by some vibrations?
Hoping for your help
