My 09 stelvio has would not always start 1st time every time, but always started after two or three attempts. I decided it was "personality" and got on with it.
Until this morning. Usual clock cycle, press starter button. click & nothing. I thought it was just showing it's personality again, but this time, it's (hopefully) terminal (pun intended).
Can I check that first steps are to clean all terminals and check fuses & relays? Replace the starter motor fuse? It seems fine on inspection.
The starter motor is pretty dusty\grimey - can I clean it in-situ or best to take out? do I clean with a toothbrush, baking soda and warm water?
Honestly don't know what a solenoid is... but I've learned my way around this bike so far. Let's say I'm a know-enough kinda mechanic who needs to add some more hours.
All responses gladly received!
