HI,
My 07 Breva 1100 won't start (battery fully charged, and I cleaned the contacts). Based on some other threads I've read here, my next step is to check/clean the starter solenoid. My problem is getting the starter cover removed. The screws are 4mm Allen screws, and I've got the top one off, but this little bugger is giving me fits (center of picture). I've got long T handle allen wrenches, but the long side has the ball end, and I can't get any grip at all in the screw, and now its starting to get wore out. Really hard to get purchase in there, with the exhaust, the grey side cover, and the starter cover itself in the way. Anybody got any ideas? And, assuming I can get it off, what exactly do I need to be doing with the solenoid.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
