The worst feeling, the weather starts feeling perfect, so to fire up the Bonneville, and hear nothing but a click.
For context, this has happened on and off for a few months, on two different batteries. Bike is always hooked up to a tender, so I just can’t imagine it being a battery issue. I’ll turn the ignition on, instrument panel will do everything it should, fuel pump will prime, and then when I hit the starter I will just get a click, and then the instrument panel will start all over again, and the fuel pump will prime again. After a few tries (sometime up to 10-15 attempts) it will fire right up. I’ve never been not able to get it started eventually, and never had to have it jumped. I’m not too mechanically inclined, maybe just enough to break something. But my guy tells me it’s either the starter, solenoid, or a relay? Anyone have any thoughts on what could be causing this? Thanks!
