  • Guys today a strange thing happened...

    I went to see a movie(TMK) and parked the bike in the parking lot ..after 3 hours or so I cam back and tried starting the bike and I was shocked as the bike was not at all starting...

    I had to push start the bike there with the help of the security guard..

    When i reached home I again tried starting and yet again it didnt start

    Whats the issue guys? Today the SVC is also closed and for you info ythe bike was working well before the movie

        • ^^ Give us some more details. What do you mean by engine does not start? The console lights up? The starter fires? Slowly or not at all? How is the battery? How does the horn sound?

            See when i start the bike yup the console lights up with regular checking of engline by RPM needle..

            so when i start the bike using the self start button there is no sound...nothing... Its like pressing House door bell when there is no electricity

            Battery is fine as i got the bike 4 weeks back and first servicing is due after 5 days..

            and horn also 100% working

            I am doubting on that Activa which was parked nearer to my bike ..maybe he banged it somewhere which i cant see and the bike isnt starting

              Do you hear the relay clicking when you press the starter?

              If no, the starter relay may have got dislodged. Its one of the 3 relays found under the seat near the tail lamp. Shove them a little and see what happens.

              Also, have you checked the position of the engine kill switch?

                Make sure that either your bike is in neutral or press the clutch lever when starting.

                    No its TATA and Abhijeet I tried what u said but still its not working and there is no sound at all when pressing the switch

                    Anyways i will take it to SVC in the morning ...but I was quite dissapointed with what happened today...

                    I had to push start the bike infront of the crowd and it was embarrasing
                    Even my 220 pulsar friend was laughing out at it and it was an insult to yamaha and R15

                        • @hardcorebiker--i have also faced same problem.i faced this prob just after 3 months from the date of purchase.and claimed the part in warranty.its the self choke or something(forgot what the part exactly called)blue colour part below the seat rear..the part was damaged

                          But second time when it happened the Service center guy told me this time its a loose contact and advised to move or press the self choke or something(forgot what the part exactly called)blue colour part below the seat rear..its working.. i have tried it

                                I pressed it hard but i am scared to press it more and still the bike not starting. And do i have to pay for it tomm?

                                I mean why its under warranty right?
