Stan78 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi guys, Maybe a long shot, but I'm having this very annoying fault with my VFR 750. The bike fires up first time every time as it should, but as soon as I ride for any distance, turn the bike off, it fails to start again in the starter switch. The bike does start when I bridge the solenoid which obviously isn't ideal, but in my head it's elimanted the possibility of having a faulty starter motor. Any help or advice that might help me track down this fault, would be gratefully received. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted March 24, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi Dave What year is your bike ? Pre or post 1993? When the fault occurs have you tried starting the bike with the Side Stand Up and the Clutch pulled in? This could help to isolate an issue with the Starter Relay grounding? Supposing your bike starts once warm with the suggested method, then this could point to a heat sensitive faulty Clutch Diode. Otherwise you need to start using a multimeter to verify Ground and Power paths for the Starter Relay coil. Good luck and get back with what you find. Cheers.
