Problems starting my MT01
By: Rocklingroy Date: August 2, 2020, 3:55 pm

Hi am new member & am having problems starting the MT01.
The starting has been getting sluggish for a while so bought a
new battery.
Still been sluggish to start & now all I am getting is a
solonoid click & no turn over.
Bike has not been used much in last 5 years so may be a factor.
Has anyone else
had these problems?

Hi I've not had any issues but a lot of others report starter
motor problems. You may need to pull it out and check. Also
check the solenoid for cylinder depressurisation is working.
Cheers

Thanks Jota, I was thinking the same. Going to try & get the
manual on line to see how big a job.

Hi Steve, that would be great. As said new to this can you

The click and no turnover turned out to be the usual starter
motor magnets needed to be reglued. Have to remove oil tank
first so could be done when servicing the bike after about 30k
as a precaution.

Before pulling the starter motor it’s worth checking the starter
solenoid/relay. I had similar problems about 5 or 6 years ago
with it ending up not wanting to turn over at all. I shorted the
solenoid out with a screwdriver and he spun over straight away.
I priced up a genuine part and it was stupid money so I got a
Fleabay special for about £10 or £12 and haven’t had a moments
trouble with it since.
It’s possible that one of the 2 bolts through the cables have
come loose, but because it’s rubber mounted it’s unlikely, but
there could be some corrosion there offering a high resistance,
worth checking the battery terminals are tight too
