cheers fatboy....

right here's what I've tried tonight....
tightened battery terminals..they were tight and greased
checked cleaned and replaced fuses.
had jump leads on car to bike to give battery a boost with car running...nothing..tightened connections on the solenoid nothing.

still all I have is a clicking solenoid and a whirring fuel pump, you can hear the pump prime when the ignition is flicked on.

any further ideas? as I'm stumped....thought it might be the power commander playing up?

Screwdriver across the starter solenoid......

If you're replacing the solenoid, go for the one with a higher current rating, the bike will start that little bit better than standard.

Thanks Wayne, going to go for the 100amp version, think that's what i replaced it with last time, that time it was sticking on and now its not coming on, how bizarre

I replaced mine with an uprated 100 amp version (via Scooter Assasins on eBay), you can also get a 150 amp version these days as well.
Somebody will let you know where from, if you need it.

Thanks Howard, i saw the 100amp version on ebay too.. is that version more effect?

I've been running the scooter assassins one for years now - ever since my original failed.

100A or 150A - it doesn't really matter - either will cope with the current draw from the starter. What is important is to have one with good quality contacts.

Ordered yesterday from scooter assassins, hoping its delivered today, though more likely tomorrow

Tried the full-throttle start? In case it's flooded from all the attempts?
