    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Before I took my bike of the road, the starter moter stared playing up, i think the solenoid was buggered, just gave a click when i pressed the button.
Can the starters be stripped and repaired, or is it better to source a new unit? Had to replace the starter on "her indoors" car, last week, and that cost over 250 euro, dont want to see what suzuki charge for one.

Also now i have your attention (although it should be in the appearance section, sorry kind moderator!) looked at fitting a Katana screen on the front, above the headlight.
Suzi dealer wants around 250 euro! (for a bit of smoked plastic, i dont think so.:mad:) Any ideas on where i can lay my hands on non o/e screens?

any help most welcome.............
 
You should check whether it's the solenoid or the starter (or the wiring). If you bypass the solenoid with a direct link ( a spanner will do the trick) and the starter motor spins you need to replace your solenoid (but check the wring first as you could have a bad connection).

If the starter motor doesn't spin the there's your problem. Probable causes are the brushes have worn down too much or the armature is dirty. Easy to clean it up - use T-cut or similar - and brushes are easy and cheap to replace.

Try: http://skidmarx.co.uk/ for a screen - good quality at way below OEM prices and shipping should be ok to where you are (Plus the ? is in freefall at the moment so you could get a real good deal)
 
thanx, try the starter at the weekend if i get time, will check the link for the screen now!! :)
 
Their should be someone who rebuilds starters in your country, so check around for parts. Check the stockers link maybe they will ship international
