Hello all,
I am facing starting issue with my NS for some days now. It has become o critical now that I cannot switch off my bike on signals or in traffic as it might not start again for many many attempts. I had went to SVC to show my problem and to my dismay the bike was behaving too well and did not show any issue. I could not demonstrate him exactly how bad the problem is as the bike was getting started normally (talk about Murphy's law
). Without much symptoms to observe he said I need to change the clutch lever and its housing along with the starter switch. He did not have it in stock so could not replace them. But here is the thing. I don't think its the issue with the clutch lever and starter switch. So I am here to ask opinions from you people. Here is the description of my issue:- Bike wouldn't start in gear with clutch pulled back. This is the normal way I start my bike. Doesn't start the bike even after 10 or sometimes 20 attempts. I keep getting "kat kat" sound from below the seat (i think some kind of switch near battery) but no crancking to the engine.
- I tried starting bike in neutral. Now if there is an issue with clutch and starter switch, then at least in Neutral bike should start quickly right as the clutch does not come into picture here. But even in neutral my Bike does not start without many attempts.
Due to this I think there is an issue with battery or something near battery. If the clutch-starter switch has issue, the electric signal for start would not have generated and there should be no movement in the circuit downstream. But I keep getting thie "kat kat" sound from under the seat, which means signal from clutch is getting generated and passed down the circuit. Also the problem in starting in Neutral also makes this doubt more firm.
Has anyone faced such issues here? What do you guys think what could be wring?? I tried to tighten clutch level which had become lose but that also did not help.
What would be price for Clutch + its housing + starter switch?
What would be the cost of NS battery? If I have to change it, should I stick to OEM bettery or there is some better alternative available??
TIA.
