A run through of simple checks to make when your starter button seems dead. This video is from a little while back when I tried to start my bike for the first time after three years.

  • Good video lots of useful tips but I would have probably checked the main fuse first. Gave it the thumbs up and subscribed.

    Cheers mate. I hoped it would be something simple. Your video helped me check a few things and my Transalp ignition is now working again. Thanks for your knowledge. Very much appreciated.

    Brilliant always easy to think what it might be once you find it. Thanks for sharing, its easy to forget, we all do it.
  • 😂 That's just made my day. Been in a right mood can't get my bike to turn over but this just made me laugh.
  • Thank you for your video! I had dismantled my bike trying find the source of my starting issue only to find that it was the brake switch all along. I had a laugh! Lol
  • I have good new battery; no kill switch; ( that I see) and no click or noise when starter button is pressed. I took apart the starter button assembly and sprayed heavily with elec cleaner. Heeelp! 🥴

    Usually the check lights go on when you tun the key to on. 2nd check engine kill switch and make sure it is in the run position….
  • Will a motorcycle start with the kick start if electric starter is not cranking for nothing? I was thinking of touching solenoid with insulated screwdriver but I'm afraid of messing up starter or something on the bike. Thanks for the video any feedback appreciated

    My bike died on me the first time I got it 😔 I can’t turn it on, it just makes weak start up that lasts like 5 seconds of weak gas but doesn’t turn fully on
  • I think you should wear a helmet all the time Clive… hold the clutch in . Lol
