Yea ok i havent even had my LTR for 2 weeks and i went to go ride it tonight and when i get on it and try to start it NOTHING. It doesnt even turn over or make any noises, the battery is charged b/c all my lights work and other crap. Also i can roll start it and it runs fine once i get it going so what could this be? i think its something electrical what do you guys think it could. I dont really wanna take to my dealer because i will prolly be 100 before i get it back if ya know what i mean so if you have any sugguestions please let me know.

Check the starter relay and fuse.

 

[yoshi470]

^^ok i checked all the fuses and they all appeared to be fine?but can you tell me what exaclty the starter relay is?

 

[hotfishez]

Always start with the basics,

Is the keyon and ignition barrel clean and clear?

Thumb run switch on and clean?
Sorry, had to ask.

Are you getting power to the starter?

Yes: take it to your dealer, it may be something as simple as a sticky solenoid. A small tap on the satrter should free it up but the starter will still be faulty so it is a dealer job regardless.

No: Trace back your wiring harness and look for any loose plugs, rubbed wires. If there is no problem with any of this, fuses etc, check your starter button. Have a look at the plug and see if you can bypass the button with a bridge wire and alligator clips or something.

Hopefully by doing this you should be able to isolate where the problem is and go from there.

hey man i have the same problem...when you try to start it, it makes a clicking sound and the power gets to the relay but the starter wont turn...if thats the case then it's the starter...you better invest in a kickstarter if you hate bumpstarting!

 

[yoshi470]

^^^so ur saying yours does make a noise??mine doesnt make any noises at all NOTHING.

 

[kheft]

solenoid!

 

[yoshi470]

^^which is what?

 

[yoshi470]

c'mon on guys i need help what else could it be?

 

[hotfishez]

At what point from the button to the starter do you loose power? Do you have power to the button? Use a test light or something they only cost a couple of bucks if you don't have one.
Until we work out the break in the system, we are pushing shit uphill!
Start with the basics one step at a time and report your findings because I think we forget that we have the biggest worldwide backup support group within this forum Tell us exactly what you find no matter how silly it might sound coz no feed back we cant help!

One word........WARRANTY!

Ihad a problem similar to that but my ground wire was loose.

 

[zuke168]

mine started doin the same today it wouldnt start just the real light click noise so it should be coverd under warranty?

 

[quadracer450 52]

Mine does it too, but it will eventually turn over and start. It gets a little worse after riding.

 

[hotfishez]

So has anybody found a problem in the system which may have something to do with it?

I am going to start a new thread call starting problems -- may answer your problem check it out

Ill put money on it being the clutch sensor. Mine did it once or twice, make sure its pulled in as far as possible or you can cut the wires so you dont have to pull it ever, just make sure you are in neutral or have the clutch in or something else will break!

 

[ltracer]

i agree if it isnt doing any thing and all the lights come on and the fuel pump primes then it is most likely the clutch switch. you can either cut the wires or you can take it apart and clean it. the switch gets loaded up and the button that rides on the clutch lever wont move. mine had this very same problem. cutting the wires is quicker but taking the switch apart is smarter and not very complicated. good luck

Clutch adjustment.....
