questio: starter prob

[08bigdogk9]

My 08k9 has been on a tender for about a month. When I turn the key on, it turns the starter until key turned off. Any ideas what to check?

Mine did the exact same thing and the battery needed a full charging that the tender was not giving it enough of a boost to start the bike. It’s a very common problem when the seasons change and get colder.

How old is the battery? Have it load tested for a dead cell. What electrical system is in the bike? Sounds like you have electrical issues in the wiring.

 

[what?]

Maybe check the starter and or run button for an open/closed circuit? With the key in the on position, the starter shouldn't engage unless the run button and then start button are pressed in sequence.
